The article was talking about how all this wonderful communication capability is migrating from the DOS world to the UNIX world. The common complaint is saying that DOS BBS' blazed the way ignores the real history. Not have UNIX users been communicating electronically for decades, the ARPAnet is one of the significant milestones in this history. The irony I find in this issue is that a good deal of the attaction of DOS peecees was to break the iron fist of MIS and let you control the destiny of your own computing resources. Yet, communications in the DOS world tend to be a more centralized implimentation than you generally see in the UNIX world. -- Chip Rosenthal <chip@chinacat.Unicom.COM> Unicom Systems Development, 512-482-8260 Our motto is: We never say, "But it works with DOS."
