(showme.missouri.edu memory) - Re: [MLUG] COIN + Kinternet

[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

AGH, this brings back memories.  Anyone remember Mizzou TS1?  I 
remember dialing in with a text prompt, getting in, then having to type 
ppp on the command line after you were authenticated, then having to 
close the window or something like that.  Had issues back then getting 
direct ppp support working.  Oy, a LONG time ago.  Brings back some 
memories of showme.missouri.edu :)  I almost miss that system... 
sometimes slower than dirt, but it always seemed to run without 
crashing... course, that could be wishful thinking and memory playing 
tricks on me, but oh well...
Jason
