- Both of those are good for some circumstances. If you dial in
- to a Unix system on a regular basis, use the ST Unix Windows client.
- It lets you open several terminals at one time and takes better
- advantage of the Unix system. The only problem is if you have a low
- bandwidth modem, one window producing a lot of output will make the
- others really slow. The client and server side of Unix Windows is
- available through anonymous ftp, but I don't remember what sites right
- now. I've only run this on my 1040, so I have no idea if it works on
- newer Atari machines.
