Sob... That's the point - I'm a Windows user (Yeah, Matthew would say
that then I didn't deserve any better ;-) ...), you know, the OS that
crashes if you start WinVICE 128 or surf to www.google.com. Or so I've
heard ;-) ...

Well, I hope someone from the VICE team will sooner or later have
mercy with us and implement this networking stuff into the Windows
version, too. Alternatively, I may look ut for an XL or Apple emulator
that provides this feature (Would be surprised if they existed,
though, but maybe some nice chap from the other two groups could
comment on that?) and use that port for just experiencing "8 bit
internet" for a while...

Greetings (and congratulations to your incredible number of hits,
hehe),
      Chris.
