RE: TI-H: networking two DOS PCs (OT like the rest of them)




Ok, i got ipxodi.com and i have also got lsl.com and en7000p.com (my current 
card type) and have run them but i cant get the two computers to network in 
terminal velocity. is it TV or is it the computers (ill test them with some 
other games)


P.S With those other messages about eating packing foam, why would you eat 
packing foam?
