I once attended a presentation at our site by a Tek salesman. He plugged the 401[024] into a modem and connected the modem to a portable cassette containing a recorded terminal session. He then typed memorized commands and responses pretending o be interacting with a computer while the tape player provided the computer side of the dialogue. Great acting. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
