He has tried using ProComm+ in host mode, only to find that dBase ignores the serial line and ProComm entirely, and does reads and writes to the BIOS or the machine directly. His question is: Is there software that will allow him to use dBaseIII (or FoxBase) remotely? If so, could you please give me some pointers I can pass on to him. I do not read either of these groups regularly, so please answer directly, and I will summarize to the net if there are a lot of responses. adTHANKSvance Sam'l Bassett, Sterling Software @ NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field CA 94035 Work: (415) 694-4792; Home: (415) 969-2644 samlb@well.sf.ca.us samlb@ames.arc.nasa.gov := 'Sterling doesn't _have_ opinions -- much less NASA!'
