Great! Although I'd probably have to do it at 19200 as the diy 38400 doesn't
seem to work :(

Excellent! Any chance you could email it to me?

Also, what facilities are available once you are networked? Is there an nfs
daemon for win95. I've seen that pretty much all the functionality you could
hope for on the Atari is provided by ports of bsd or linux stuff.

Do you know of any utility which would allow printer output to be redirected
from my st to a remote win95 machine? It sounds a long shot, but in theory
it shouldn't be too hard to do. If all else fails, I'll redirect printer
output to a file (using nfs) and write a little program on the pc to print
whatever appears in that file...
