This is a repost as the first attempt seemed to get nowhere.
Posted to ibm.pc because of interest that might exist in
the PC.EMULATOR.
===================================================================
ACORN are not dead in Canada. In my department the are two US version
model B machines in constant use (and less trouble to use than PC-Clones)
I have an Acorn Archimedes at home that I have just upgraded with the
new RISC-OS. So far the new OS looks like healthy competition for
Apple MAC (640 x 512 in colour an Multisync) and others.
I would be interested in seeing discussion of the Arch on the net.
Newfoundland is rather a long way from the UK and Toronto so I am
a little out of touch with other Arch users.
In Canada, the Archimedes is supplied by Olivetti (Canada) from
Ontario.
Now a question! Has anyone got the Hearsay communications package
working under the RISC-OS? C-Kermit works fine but Hearsay seems
unable to set the baud rate correctly. (David Pilling - where are you?)
