Dear Sirs, my name is Fabio Di Capua, I work as Pc support (IBM compatible) in Whirlpool Italy. I have something in mind that I will be very happy if it is possible to do … At home I have an Amiga 500, 512 Kb Ram (i think), only 1 floppy, Workbench 1.0 ( or 1.1). I have a Dos application from Novell that I use with my portable and my modem to connect to the office to be able to work from home. The name of this application is Novell Access Server. I don't have any Dos board on my Amiga, but I wonder if it is possible to run that Novell application. That application is sending via modem the control of keyboard, video and CPU of the remote machine ( a dos one ). I heard somewhere that it is possible to run a Dos application with Workbench 2.0 As I prefer to d/l files from the office ( Dos machine ), because is much less expensive than d/l from home … , how is possible to d/l Amiga files from here and switch a diskette from a Dos format to an Amiga one ??? I make all my excuses if my mail is so long … I hope somebody can help me … Thanks in advance for any help. Bye Fabio
