You can find them in pretty much any junk store or trash heap around the country... kinda like punch cards... :-) I remember there was a show on in the late 90's or so, where some lady dialed some guy's phone that was connected to an accoustical modem... instead of letting the computer answer it.. he picked it up.. and when he answered it, he was sucked into some sort of virtual reality.. :-) Ever since then, I've wanted an accoustic modem... :) Bad TV... gotta love it. -Brian > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modem > -- > Mark C.
