- OK, I guess I can understand that. NDS is hard enough even for

- I like that, add device to print to rather than stupid capturing

-
- : The following menu utilities are provided: SysCon, Filer, PrintDef,
- : PrintCon, PConsole, FConsole, VolInfo and two Amiga specific programs,
- : AmigaBack and NetMessage.
- I guess the lack of Rconsole is a symptom of lack of SPX support.
- Oh well. Sounds very nice.
- Do I want to ask how much this stack costs? What kind of memory
- requirements are there?
- What is performance on an Ether card like? I.e. Appletalks
- current implementation is known to be quite slow due to tiny packet
- sizes. Is there any similar known slowness associated with the Amiga
- Novell client? DOes it support Novells long file names? :) Or is there
- an Amiga nameSpace NLM? :) That would be funny!!!!!
