Sheesh, yer boss better develop some flexibility. He's gonna have a cow when he has to deal with awk.... The problem is that I get random users calling into the BBS, and it's not practical to tell them that they have to press break, nor can I suggest that they get a 2400 baud modem. My boss is on my case about it because *he* tried it, and he couldn't get in. His attitude is that if *he* can't get in, how's J. Random User (who knows as much about the system as he does) going to get in? Another part of the problem is that we switched from a MS-DOG BBS to a Xenix BBS, and now it won't auto-switch baud rates. C'mon, Unix fans, you're not going to tell me that Unix loses out over MS-LOSS, are you? -- --russ (nelson@clutx [.bitnet | .clarkson.edu]) FAX 315-268-7600 It's better to get mugged than to live a life of fear -- Freeman Dyson I joined the League for Programming Freedom, and I hope you'll join too.
