Trouble is, the software for the Model II (there were never Xenix drivers for Arcnet for the Tandy 6000) is incompatible with anybody else's Arcnet software, even Tandy's Vianet which connected Tandy and other PCs in a peer-to-peer network (though at least the Tandy 2000 got in on that one). An Arcnet card in a Model 2 or 12 or in a 16 or 6000 in Z-80 mode will only talk to others of its own kind. And Ghod only knows where any copies of the server software might be (Model 2 Arcnet was _not_ peer-to-peer). About the best way to connect a Tandy 68k Xenix system to the world is through a serial link to a Linux box. As I've done. Hopefully when I finally have a permanent link from my Linux communication server to the Internet, it will be possible for folks to login to my 6000HD (and one of my AT&T 7300s) from a secured telnet session to Linux and the old cu command (or maybe minicom). I suppose it might be possible to somehow port slip to Tandy Xenix. I am not capable of doing so, however. -- Ward Griffiths <mailto:gram@cnct.com> <http://www.cnct.com/home/gram/> When I was crossing the border into Canada, they asked me if I had any firearms with me.
