It's addictive - isn't it?

I use the "Australianised" US Domestic one. Freq'able here as SDL0112A.ZIP

The volume control seems to adjust between "no noise" through
"very loud" to "EXTREMELY BLOODY LOUD".  I only turn it
on when I really have to :-)

I used AT&F1&W here.

My plug pack is on the floor under the desk so I haven't noticed any such problem.

FF> Apart from I6 and I11, what other diagnostic commands exist?

Dunno - they're the two I use.

So far, BGFAX is the only think I've found that does 2.0
