Thanks Billy, what you said was absolutely true... and not many people know about the strength and power of OS/2.. (Well.. I work for IBM.. but I do not want to sound like self-bubbling one..) What I have asked however was that since I access IBM's Internet router thru TCP/IP LAN, from which I 'telnet' to this BBS... (actually this is far greater capability compared to Modem/Shell connection..)... I can not use IYAGI program (to be used as ascii (modem) communications) to read and write Hangul... so my question now is.. is there any hybrid version(s) of 'telnet' to enable me to read/write (at least read) Hangul thru 'telnet' ..? I've heard there's a program called 'htelnet'..??? Anyway, I appreciate your feedback on this, Billy!
