I'm not sure what this means, or why it should be so. Can you shed more light on this? Another thing to remember is you DON'T want to do a NEWCLI AUX: and hook up your modem to it, then call from a friend's house (or from "work" if you do that sort of thing). Sure it's a trip to be able to call your amiga and start up Juggler for your cat, but it's just as easy for somebody to call you, get the CLI and create havoc. Can you say DELETE C:#? - I knew you could. I understand DIGA (from Aegis) allows you to "log in" to your Amiga in this fashion ... you call it up and enter a password. THEN you're free to entertain your cat. ..Bob -- Bob Page, U of Lowell CS Dept. page@ulowell.{uucp,edu,csnet}
