This crossed my desk today and I thought some people out there might have
some interest in it. I don't mean to advertise on the net, I mean, after all,
*I* certainly have no connection with "FTAM Hardware, Inc.".

John, Sounds like it has almost allof the features one could use! But, as Billy Brackenridge would say:" PRICE IS TECHNICAL INFORMATION. So, let me know by the drop deadline and I'll order up a bunch. Dan PS. I really hope you don't run out of those EBCDIC decoder rings... -------
