While it is true that this allows you to set the volume to any intermediate level that you want, this has a distinct DISadvantage on internal modems :-) --- Yeah, adjusting it is not the ultimate in convenience. Of course, there is _also_ the ATLx commands to tune it from the keyboard. Could be worse.. like this keyboard with all of 2 feet of cable, or my mouse on a 2.5' tether.... Heaven forbid that anyone would want to put their tower case NEXT TO or below the desk.... Kinda makes ya yearn for those days when the keyboard WAS the computer... :-) -Steve -- >> Steve Haehnichen << shaehnichen@ucsd.edu Disclaimer: UCSD and I do not share any opinions.
