A much simpler way to go about the same thing is to connect a thinnet tranciever (like a DESPR but not a repeater) to the Tranciever port on the DELNI a and then just run thinnet. Then all you have to scrap is the DESPR. -- name : David Koblas uucp : {ames,decwrl}!mips!koblas place: MIPS Computers Systems domain: koblas@mips.com quota: "It was never ment to be a game, NEVER." -- Rollerball
