That is another very good way to get SIG stuff into
our PDP's. Actually,
with this, a CDROM is not needed. Just download files from metalab into
the
PC and squirt them thru the network into the PDP. But
once again, I would
have to find parts, etc. to setup the PDP's onto a network.
Once you have the files on a PC, (or wherever your CDROM/internet is) it's
no problem to transfer it via kermit. (which is on the CDROM, right ?;-))
And a spare v24 cable, should be easy to find ...

P.S. Great idea Tim !
