Hi, I have no local access to a Linux machine, as said. However nettamer is not necessarily the only way I can connect to the net. I have all the connection information, so any program that is a stand alone ppp/ip, as with agents for example, can get me to the net. I will ask about these tools in dos, and a connection method.
