- Lets not go TOO far here. My apartment has a thin-net network consist-
- ing of 5 [34]86 dos machines (including a laptop), a sysvr4, BSD and a
- novell 3.11 server. All the dos machines have netware drivers, tcp/ip
- drivers, cd-rom drivers, doskey, smartdrv, mouse, etc, etc.
- All have over 600k free after this, and *never* crash unless the wife
- says "what will *this* do??".
- DOS is not a real OS, true, but until someone ports Wing Commander
- to BSD, I can't much do without it.
