PC users WILL share diskettes, a small minority of them will realize/bother to change the IP address. SLIP and its 'fixed' IP address is a problem which prevents greater/more functional use of SLIP. NetBIOS/SLIP anyone? I still feel it is too bad the Stanford people will not make their code available to the (Non-Academic) net community. We never found POP anywhere else. I cannot see how this benefits Stanford, the academic community, DOD, or the country (USA). Stephen Northcutt (snorthc@nswc-g.arpa) Disclaimer: All personal opionions.
