Are you sure you know what you are talking about? You can telnet to a unix machine from windows 95. You can't telnet from Linux to win95. First of all win95 has no option to accept telnet and it is not a server. You could do it with NT if you have like OpenNT installed ontop of it. At 05:59 PM 3/

Re: Linux + NT

1997-11-14 Thread Chi Wong
Well, you could install NT onto of Win95. Meaning that you install in the same partition of Winp5 but it gets confusing later on as you might have to install software for both NT and 95. If you want trully NT and Linux. Kill the 95 partion and install NT first on the first partition and Linux next.
