So you got in running on you setup?  To my knowledge not many people 
have gotten it running.  If you have then you are the first person 
that's had no trouble. :)

Yep, got it up and kicking quite well !!! TBBS Box is a stock standard
386 with an Accton Network card in it.. Set the IPX stuff up on it
quite easily

Gateway machine is running NT4 workstation. Installed the IPX stuff
and it worked ok.. ran Netterm (my telnet program) after TIAD was up
and running telnetted localhost and bingo !! local testing ok...
dialled into my ISP, ran command prompt in a window and ran ipconfig
giving me my dynamic address, then telnetted into it .. bingo
again...

 I'd say the most important thing is to make sure the network is up
and running ok first, then try a telnetting localhost whilst your not
dialed into the net ..

I'll post my batchfiles on the TBBS box, with a few pointers on
setting it up at it's end, and my NT settings if that will help
anyone...

  John
