It looks like good > fun. I'm truly surprised that this isn't from AOL... OBHack: OK, my friends SHELL account wasn't working, so he wanted me to log in, and try from my computer. Well, wouldn't you know it that I was using a new computer with nothing on it except windows (yeah, it's a DOS machine, havn't had time to get Linux...) and my SLIP software with WinSock. Now I COULD have used MS Terminal, but I despise that program, so i decided against it. I ended up logging in to my SLIP provider, starting a REALLY lame telnet program that came with my slip software. I telnetted to his account and got on. Now i realize I could have also used the winsock software to log on, but using winsock as a comm program isn't my idea of fun. Now I know this is a lame hack, but i also needed to test my new SLIP software. Well, both accounts were working fine.
