- Sounds interesting. Where will you upload them?

- I understand your reasons for making posting available only when registered.
- However, please reconsider. I, for one, register a lot of shareware.
- But I only do so if I am genuinely able to carry out a full evaluation with
- all facilities available to me. This may be of particular importance with
- a product such as this - there are lots of potential interworking problems
- with networking packages and it is important to be able to genuinely "try
- before you buy".
-
- Whatever you decide on this, I look forward to having a look at your software
- - all I'll need then is a PPP or SLIP driver for NT and I'll be able to stay
- in NT for all of my Internet access. Is anyone working on this?
