I don't remember seeing who actually made this box. If somebody could E-mail this info to me it would be appreciated. Also, I saw some discussion asking about barcode readers for the NeXT. Did anybody respond?? Does anybody make them?? Again, I really need some company names and numbers. We are attempting to install with the need for numerous modems (2400MNP) to be connected to a small number of NeXTs. Also need some barcode reading capability. Please respond to me directly, I will summarize.
