some ideas may be "off the wall", and many may not work out, but at
least it's SOMETHING.  i find a lot of my time being spent on my Linux
machine (an AMD k5 box), but i'd like to rig my //gs to it.  i don't
have any serial ports to spare, so using a serial connection is out,
but i'd LIKE to think that one day i might connect the two with an
ethernet connection.  THAT way, my wife could use the PC whilst i go
off on the 'Net (via the Linux machine) and chat on irc or
something...   :)

things could be worse: the // series could get STAGNANT.  <shudder>
