Would be nice if Arachne could be used to call or answer another
computer (or another Arachne) just like a fax machine.
And a very nice feature would be Arachne becomming a fax machine
(receiving faxes electronicaly and not to paper) to print out or
manipulate a file later...

Bob, would you please comment on the second part of the experiments
(with the NE555) and/or check the English language?
And please give the temperature range of the water you have to measure.
After summer holydays I can expect some help from a laboratory with the
calibration... CU, Bastiaan
