Re: speakup at university

Wow, Mike, really! How come your CIS classes didn't have labs? All of mine
did, but my professors allowed me to do most of necessary work at home.
However, my networking,based on Redhat6.1 and WIndows2000, I took  by simply
using Yasr, Emacspeak and WIndow-bridge for WIn2000. WI fast machines the
demoversion did a good job.

Vic
