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?

Is this the only piece that you need? Do you know what the name of the
service is so I can find out more about it?

I purchased mine for 50 cents (NEW had tons of them) at used computer store
here and the guy told me about it. He told me to check out HP's web site if
I wanted more info. I have not checked because he also said that if you knew
how to hack you could make it work any way enough said.

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,
