It would be a major improvement in convenience, cost, and so on. Problem is, he lives in Australia. I have no idea what wiring, signalling, and so on they use down under. I know computer equipment costs a bomb down there, so I'd rather get him something in the US, but that's probably not going to be cool with Telecom Australia. So, what do I do? Suggestions? Also, are there any public access UNIX systems down there like the one I run up here? What's the scoop? -- Peter da Silva; Ferranti International Controls Corporation; +1 713 274 5180; Sugar Land, TX 77487-5012; `-_-' "Have you hugged your wolf, today?"
