A few questions have popped into my mind lately... Any ideas on them would be appreciated. - I was at a friends house and was very impressed by the audio and bvideo combinations he produced with his Commodore Amiga computer hooked up to his stereo. Are there cards for a pc that will enable similar use of sound? If so, what are they called (what would one look for in a store if they were going to buy one)? - Is there a way to hook up a pc so that it can control various items in the house (ie. turn on and off lights)? - Is there a way to run your pc with a VCR and save what is on your screen (assuming the correct VCR/PC wiring)? What graphics levels can you save with a VCR? Pete -- Peter P. Donohue ppd491@albny1vx.bitnet . "Education is a journey, ppd491@leah.albany.edu . not a destination..."

Is there available a public domain mail program for MS-DOS?
(i.e., something which would allow me to work with unix mailbox
files downloaded to my DOS machine.)
There has been mention of a coprocessor emulator (in software).
A friend of mine could use this, could someone tell me its location?
I seem to remember mention of a program which will analyze your
AT's internal clock, and once it determines a percentage of time lost,
it will automaticaly reset the clock every x time period (on boot-up?).
Does such a program exist? If so, where might I find it?
Is there a program which elegantly keeps track of boot-ups? I leave
my computer on all of the time (it has my answering machine running within
it), and would like to know when the machine has rebooted due to power
failure, etc. I could easily write something which writes the time
and date to a file every boot-up, but I would also like to know how
long the machine was down. (Maybe I should just get an UPS. :)
I have a (genuine) Hayes 2400B internal modem which is not MNP5
compatible. My primary use is downloading files from a system with
hardware MNP5 capability. Is there a way I can use my system processor
to do the requisite compression, etc? (I have processor capability to
spare.) Preferably in a Telix or Procomm type of environment.
Please (if possible) e-mail answers, as I sometimes get behind
in reading this group.
(And since I'm posting anyway:)
