<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>Am I missing something
here?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ignorance=bliss...And at the moment, with
Jnos under DOS, I am in bliss</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>and I do not hope it is due to
ignorance.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>With Jnos under Dos, I have an apple.
Connecting to the Internet, it's fellow apple.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>apples to apples. Linux is an orange. To
run Jnos under linux, I connect an apple to an orange,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>which I then use to connect to the NET,
which is an apple. To me, Jnos under Linux isn't apples</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>and oranges, it's apple-orange-apple. and
when all is said and done Jnos ends up</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>being nothing more than a shell to the
Linux IP stack.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>At this point, I am so frustrated with all
the complications in running Jnos under</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>linux, which to my DOS mind
accomplishes nothing except ax.25 connectivity,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>which is already present in the Linux
kernel, </FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>and a BBS. I say we just
rip the</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>guts out of Jnos if it is going to be run
under Linux. </FONT></STRONG><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>leave the command
interpreter,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>and the bbs
functions.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why should I IFCONFIG the hell out of Jnos,
IFCONFIG the hell out of linux, and</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>in the end I end up with a null
modem?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>---------------------</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>And with those points the ignorance
possibly expresses itself. So I ask, before I hit</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>the books and get my Linux box up and going
with Jnos, just what ARE</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>the advantages, if any, of running Jnos
under Linux? Clearly there must be..</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>It seems the entire Jnos community has
shifted over...</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
