I am glad to hear it. Does this mean two or more windows with telnet
running in them, etc? What kind of performance do you think you
will have?

Anything is possible but I think it is unlikely. I am sure it
was a person in a bright green FTP shirt and I'm also sure
I expressed disappointment at the level of Win3 support

to say no comment than that there wasn't a market.

Anyway, I'm very glad to hear the real story.
