It had, actually, then Russ rang up yesterday afternoon and uploaded all 8
disks of it to me.  A nice WP, but without a printer, pretty useless...  :)

BV> 'salright. That's why I didn't drive up on Sunday or Monday night.

I thought you were going to bring up both of your VCRs though?  Oh well,
I'm sure they'll manage to wait until winter too.

BG> These new mode 4 WD 1.6Gb drives are rather nice though.
BG> Christ, they fly!

BV> So do the Seagate 4.2 Gb Fast-Wide SCSI Barracuda-4's.

Apples and oranges though, the WD is EIDE-2, and only one third the
capacity (and, I'll bet, about a quarter the price of the Seagate).  :(

BV> Fair enough. I should be able to get it done by May-June. No probs.

Looks like Russ has solved both our problems then.  :)

Damn, I told you to buy a NetComm, but you wouldn't listen!  Oh well, if it
doesn't play up, you've nobody to blame but yourself.

I trust it's not one of their awful el-cheapo RPI models ?

Look in the manual for V.25 call indicate tones, and how to disable them
(#C0 on the M34F, S54=64 on the USR).  I'm not at all familiar with the
Banksias, so am not going to be much help to you here.
