How about this: I work as an in-house medical consultant to the health-fraud operation of a major US computer-services company (no names but Ross Perot used to own it...) and because I'm a consultant and not an employee (one day a week for three years now) I am refused access to the company network - so I work on an old iMac I restored and leave at that location, and I access the web via dialup using my daughter's Earthlink account. The internal phone network there must be noisy; all I can get is maybe 24K. Not fun. Used to do it on a PB 3400 but someone tossed the iMac at the local town dump and I adopted it - so now I can leave the even-older PB at home where it runs a SCSI scanner. Seth Lewin
