Re: Update: Win2k to IIgs

["Tim Haynes" <trhaynes@yahoo.SPAMBGONE.com>]

Well,  there is some TCP/IP driver software that you have to run with the
card called Marinetti (a bona fide TCP stack, not some dumb client that
requires something running on a Windows machine to serve it data).  With
Marinetti and LANceGS, you are really on the Internet.  There's an FTP
client, and I think a basic web browser for the IIgs.  There is also an IRC
desk accessor, and an MSN chat client (whoa).

Cheers,
Tim
