Home users normally don't have a full-blown TCP/IP connection :-) so getting them onto the Internet via SLIP is a valid choice... They'll do the ooh ahh thing at demos when you can do the equivalent of multitasking over a serial line (SLIP). I've actually seen this happen.. You'll probably want to wait for the Warp Lan Client which is due out in Q1. Other people (like me) have hacked TCP/IP 2.0 onto Warp to get simultaneous SLIP and TCP/IP (and it doesn't cost $207...only about $140). Another thing you could do if you have a SLIP capable system at school, is to dial into it via Warp's Other Provider option (preferably through a null-modem). Not quite as fast as a direct link, but not that bad, either...my SLIP link through a 28.8K modem is actually faster than the Internet link here.. ken
