I'm running ESIX, and C news, trn (a recent rn superset, I used to run rn, but
switched to this), less, kermit, Zmodem, elm, ad nauseum. There _are_ things
you often have to change around (minor) and mostly things work like they do
for Interactive. I'm also running FAS Async Drivers, a Polled LP driver (so's
I could free up IRQ's for the ARChive tape drive and mouse, and WD8003E Ether
net adapter...) It's great stuff...

BUT, I'm kinda dumb, and don't have mail working right, so I couldn't answer
privately in e-mail, net.bandwidths godz please be kind :)
