Lines: 21 Can anyone explain to me what I need to access this net from home using an AT clone? I am using DOS 4.01 (no UNIX yet, do I need it?), Windows 3.0, can use kermit or xmodem, 2400 baud modem. This may seem easy for most of you but I have no idea what I need to install or do. What I would like to do with this access is: read a few newsgroups posting & saving files would be nice but is no must ftp capabilities (to download files from other sites) Anybody? Thanks! -vera Vera Vallentin-Price 408-245-0589 vera@cadence.com
