Ok... I've gotten the BBS software working... just now how can i hook up to a BBS using your software? I'm using novaterm and don't quite know how to make a connection work. Commands starting with 'AT' give me an 'OK' but other than that, i can't seem to connect to another place...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

We'll assume you are attempting to call a BBS.....
If you are using TCPCOM use: ATDT BBSNAME/IP:PORTNUMBER (ATDT 209.151.141.59:23)
If you are using BBS Server to call out use: ATDT BBSNAME/IP PORTNUMBER (ATDT 209.151.141.59 59)

Hey thanks! I was just trying 'ATD' not 'ATDT'. Thanx for straightening me out! Now all i really need is a lynx type browser for the c64, and then I'll be set.

We'll assume you are attempting to call a BBS..... If you are using BBS Server to call out use: ATDT BBSNAME/IP PORTNUMBER (ATDT 209.151.141.59 59) Correction: BBS Server expects a colon in the address, i.e. ATDT 209.151.141.59:23 If the colon isn't found it defaults to port 23. Also, the syntax is exactly the same even if you're not dialing a BBS, i.e. calling a Linux machine.

What do mean by 'calling a linux machine'? Does that mean like remotely logging into a machine? And one last thought... how hard would it be to access the shared drives on a win98 machine via a terminal software? (that is if i know the ip address...)

Yes, you can Telnet to a remote Linux machine and remotely log in. The terminal settings (on the Linux side) are sometimes a problem though. What do you mean by access shared drives? Win98 shares its drives through a protocol called SMB. There is an SMB tool for Linux called 'Samba', but nothing for the C64. What is it that you want to do? Transferring files from Win98 to a C64 over TCP/IP is not possible, currently. Using a null modem cable and X/Y/Z modem would be much easier.

Oh I was just curious if it was possible... I guess not... Oh well, since i already have a PC acting as my disk transferring station, which is hooked up via ethernet to my home network...

tcpser expects a colon as well.
Though, tcpser has a phonebook.
So, you can alias mybox to jimbrain.com:6400
