It's not New Technology, nor Nothern Telecom, not Needs Terabytes neither Not There. It does stand for N-Ten, but that's not the codename for the i860. It's the name of the simulator that was used since i860 didn't really exist while MS was working on the OS. Best regards, Alex Ionescu > That's just MS marketing propaganda.

Where can I have password? Am I mistaking anything? the version of svn that I am using it: TortoiseSVN 1.2.4, Build 4479 - 32 Bit Best regards Rob ___________________________________ Yahoo!

I've also spoken to the author of this project too. Yuri, hooking into NDIS is also not ideal. We really need to develop an independent driver, attached to the miniport. I won't go into the details of Alex's suggestion as I haven't fully read up on it yet. But I will tell you it involves WFP and WSK if you wanted to look into it.

He seems to think that 9x users are worth something. Please do me a favour: just take a look at his 98/95 micro (hybrid) and then tell me again what you think. He has even reduced it to flash card. No future for 9x? Microsoft is making threats, but it is still supporting 9x. They are not so brash that they would insult their client base. What makes you so cocksure of yourself? His software cost me $45 and I got good service and it works first time, it is so lean that I can make a ghost backup in under 3 minutes. I have been running a test for three weeks on a separate machine, without any protection, except that provided by a router, I have even rejected the Windows Updates. Admittedly I don't surf, but in principle and under restricted conditions it works. And what is more Shane does not blame his users. Nor does he resort to cheap shots. ReactOS, after three expensive downloads, still does not work. But I am still not giving up on it, nor you for that matter. > > Here is a good example. > You started off talking about not giving in, not sure what that was all > about > The moved onto USB, and swiftly onto FreeDOS, ReactOS and then '98 > Then you just seemed to tag the following on to the end > > > Before I lost my business in 1987 I sold networked > > Multiprocessors using PCMOS/386. > > I was one of the few in the business at that time. > > And I understood this post better than most :p I'll disregard this personal cheap shot. > > Ged. > > > > > > > > ************************************************************************ > The information contained in this message or any of its > attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive > use of the addressee.
