I've successfully used two Kermits running on two serial ports at once,
once dwnloading, and the other one interactively pretty heavily. If you
have a decent 486/33mhz it should fly jerkily pretty well. set the properties
to allow timeslicing or background execution. Now, to say it's a server
will allow everyone to access your machine. How about a WEB page? Or a
BBS? or a elcheapo 286 dedicated to handing out the stuff, a few hundered
bucks would suffice.
just my unasked for 2cents worth.
