One of the people here thought he saw some mention of doing this a while back. Oh sigh. What you want to do simply cannot be done. That would be running *two* TCP/IP stacks in the same machine at the same time. Chaos. It sounds like what you want is a POP client for Sun's PC-NFS. -- --russ I'm proud to be a humble Quaker.
