Hi Meta! I used to work with you at the "off-site" facility
near GSFC. Do you remember my short stay at that location?
Anyway, I use PC-Xware on my home computer which is fixed up
with an AT&T 28.8 modem, and is running on a 83 Mhz. pentium
chip. It works very well for me. Tell Bob Rosenberg you
need a hot little laptop with PC-Xware. That should do it!
