Good Grief RPP it is OC!!! That took a large crowbar!!
Nice work. Amazing!! As I recall you did this once before.
I am honored to be on your favorite site list, especially as it is so
short.
I just put in an ISDN connection today. WOW! It is impressive. I have
my 4 computers on a LAN at home and have the 3COM ISDN-LAN terminal.
Now I can download those big Hubble picts really fast.
