Thank you for your message =)

I tried to connect using MINICOM to capture to log what WinNT is telling
Win95 during the login process.  Unfortunately nothing appears.  I pressed

Any suggestion?

Cynic, n.:
        A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as
they ought to be.  Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a
cynic's eyes to improve his vision.
