Yes, 'cept for those who go `High Volume mailing list? Hmm. GIGO. *thwump*'
....and then whing that no-one told them :)

However, I'll be re-learning (haven't installed NW for ages) and documenting
as I go.

I could really really use a copy of Adaptec's EZ-SCSI with the DOS drivers
for the 1522 so I can get the CDROM to talk to the router PoeCee.
Any volunteers..? 

Mmm, other than maybe sniffing out other netware networks on campus or
playing games, has anyone got any compelling reasons why I should not have
it only talking IP and AppleTalk..? I don't think we need IPX...
