It currently has a 4gig UW-SCSI drive and I just bought another 4gig for the CD ROMs. We really don't have that large an environment to be using licence management software.

That didn't work well at all. ;-) No ... all machines will be hardwired with the software they have access to.

Our student server is all Netware with MS clients (of course).

I figure a certain percentage of other folks are going to be. I just wish "they" would stop hiring computer illiterate administrators, department heads and instructors. "I just want to teach applications" does not get it in my book.

I have been using Winfossil 1.12 under Windows 95 to run Front Door 2.12 and Proboard 2.10. I have found that I have to periodically get in and out of terminal mode to keep Front Door 2.12 sensitive to incoming calls ( so that it will answer ). If I do that, then the incoming wall willnot be answered. Have you experienced that problem at all? I am using an USR Sportster 33.6 internal modem. --- * Origin: Rico & Chely's BBS Kansas City, Mo.
