Silber silber@devvax.tn.cornell.edu I'm not certain if this is from tie-ins...the Merlin happens to look very snazzy. Why, just last month, I was watching TV, and lemme see here... Airwolf on CBS was using a white Merlin, some soap opera on ABC was using a red one, and some NBC movie was using black ones. All at the same time (maybe they were talking to each other?) Gee, and I thought it would be sort of impractical to have your house rewired (and have an expensive controller installed) just to hook a Merlin up to one phone line... -dave -- David Hsu Communication & Signal Processing Lab, EE Department University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 hsu@eneevax.umd.edu {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!eneevax!hsu ARPA n.
