- Gee, sounds like a BBS to me... I think Gerald wanted something with a
- GUI, though...
-
- If he has another ST, and the patience to work with IGS, he could set
- up a BBS with instant graphics menus and such, or if the ST ever gets a
- good X-server, he could call it with any X-terminal.
-
- Of course, neither of these allow you to run GEM applications from a
- remote computer... Maybe someone would like to make a remote access
- program for the F030 or MiNT/TOSwin?
