So your saying it is OS dependent?

Or maybe not. Maybe I'll read more.

Hate to flame someone who is so kind and polite, and has been so for thankful
for all the help George has provided him, but here goes..
You spent your entire article saying how a MUD would not run on Windows 3.1. Well, noone said one would, although theoretically it is possible, but it would crash and such as you mentioned. So, after idiotically helping prove the point you were arguing against, you went on to say..

Bandwith?
Perhaps you meant bandwidth, appearing intelligent does not seem to be
a large concern of yours, or you would not post such trash.
Bandwidth is determined by hardware, of course, completely unrelated to software or OS. But, noone ever stated otherwise. We did say, however, that
the number of sockets was limited by the software and OS. Which is very true,
all a modem or other such communication device does is read and write data from/to the line it is connected to. It then passes this along a COM port, and any software listening will hear it and interpret it. The number of sockets is unlimited, although without enough bandwidth, they will be terribly slow.
Perhaps the next time you decide to flame a nice, helpful, and obviously much more intelligent person, perhaps you should take the time to at least purchase a clue.
emote is still awaiting Daniel's much anticipated response to this trash.
