Hmm. DOS does have the advantage of not getting in the
way of doing such
things (and I've already got a DOS PC for Imagedisk work). Plus it's nice
to
have short startup times (and even faster shutdown ;)
The only downsides:
2) Lack of remote administration (control via serial port or network
would
be handy in some cases).
Who told you? You can run "doorway" or do a pipe of ctty to comx: but I
don't remember how. Maybe mode ctty>com1: ?
