- Subject: PC-NFS 5.0/WinMosaic - DNS support w/resolv.cnf
-
- To get DNS working under PC-NFS 5.0:
-
- ***********************************************************************
- *** ***
- *** Copy /etc/resolv.conf, from Unix, to c:\nfs\resolv.cnf, to a PC ***
- *** ***
- *** Reboot your PC ***
- ***********************************************************************
-
- Simple and FREE, no upgrades required!
-
- This will allow WinMosaic to run under PC-NFS without and NIS server to
- DNS converter.
-
- Please post problems and suggestions as you find them.

- Subject: WinSock DLL for modem use w/o slip Interested?
-
- I am considering creating a software set composed of two parts: 1) a
- winsock compatible DLL and 2) a C program to run on the remote UNIX host
- that would decode a protocol that the DLL would use to talk over the
- phone to the UNIX host. This would allow people who didn't have access
- to slip or didn't want to deal with it to use any winsock application
- with a minimum of fuss. Users could then easily run such applications as
- WinMosaic and WinIrc.
-
- What I need to know is how much interest is their in such a tool?
-
- If you would be interested in using such a tool please send me email.
-
- Thanks

- PS. If you know anyone else working on this sort of project already
- please send me email as well.
