Yes, independantly... I even didn't know ICE! And the last version of NOS 
(0.51) appears in august 1999, not a year ago. That will be a shame that Mike 
de Petris stops to develop NOS. With its integrated multitasking, NOS is a real 
miracle as a software and Mike was working on using it's TCP/IP stack with CAB. 
AFAIK, it even already worked under MagiC but not under MiNT because of the 
incompatibilities of shel_write().

It's LED and I don't really want to keep on using it, I've been used to it for 
years, for I used it for NeST, before Internet became so common. I could keep

gateway NOS<->LED but that's no use because aMail does all the work of the 3,

way, my choice is already made.

It's not off-topic, it's about the MiNT list and I'm not sure that every one 
knows that we're mirrored on USENET. I didn't know...

See you later,
