I've attempted it, although I gave up before I succeeded (I was trying to
do it all on a floppy based system as a short term measure before getting
my HD fixed - which it now is)

Gerry O'Rorke has also attempted it, and after various queries on c.s.a.s.tech
has succeeded and has released a document detailing what he has done. I've
put his un-modified text-file on my www pages (see .sig) - although I will
be putting a HTML formatted version their later today... 

His system is a complete setup, with FTP, telnet and NFS all working.

Well, it is possible to write a driver for MiNTnet, but that'll be a lot
of hassle... maybe parrallel is possible (but maybe not!) as Win95 seems to
offer this as an option (I guess the Atari p-port isn't good enough though)

Tell us if you are successful...
