Speaking of connecting, connect from the website at http://www.particles.org if
you don't have a terminal. 


Useless Hardware Info: 
====================== 

Running on a Commodore 128D w/640K of RAM (which is enough for anyone) 
Ports open at 38,400 so it flies.  Ever seen an 8-bit transfer at 38.4K?  Holy
crap. 
This is done with the magic of a Swiftlink RS232 adapter. 
Punter, Multipunter, Ymodem, Xmodem xfers. Find one you like. 
4GB CMD SCSI drive running off a Compact Flash card using a SCSI to CF adapter.
 Fast.  For 8-bit.
