(You can't hook modem A to . . . .|modem B with a standard RJ11 patch cable, nor with a crossed RJ11 patch . . . .|cable.) Why not I remember playing games in the dos world by doing a null modem connection back when NIC's were too expensive for me. Basically just two computers sitting next to each other, and dialing each other up. . . . .| . . . .|-- . . . .|Matt Emmerton www.nul.cjb.net www.FreeBSD.org _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
