Yeah. It's a really non-classic device. (Ca. 1997) They currently
have that, as well as a small portable version for handhelds and
notebooks. Basically, you use that, pay a monthly fee, and get
information from their 'premium' content providers, and notification
of new eMail. It works in 'covered' areas across the US. It's just
for a standard PC and is thus just a standard serial device. It's a
good idea, but I'd like REAL Internet access, thank-you-very-much,
not just what some company pays you to give me. But it does
update automatically (I think). They're still in business,

A friend of mine found this at a garage sale. Small
grey box with a long
cord and DB-9 connector. The front of the box says "Air Media Live" and has
a LED on it. Does anyone know what it is?
