I've heard that other TCPs (e.g. Trumpet) can be used, but have no experience of that. You also need to have the Microsoft Networks client installed of course. Microsoft TCP for WFW can be obtained from ftp.microsoft.com. >How do I connect. Is there a utility to mount/map/attach the services >from within Windows. DOS? Within Windows you use the File Manager to mount drive mappings and the Print Manager to mount printer mappings. In the DOS box you use NET.EXE. If these don't work then you probably haven't configured MS TCP properly. -- John Stark (at home) | Cambridge, England jas@slugvine.demon.co.uk | Tel. Cambridge (01223) 573555
