#R:linus:-49500:zinfandel:9500001:177600:422 zinfandel!billn Dec 11 16:57:00 1983 I have two of 'em. One on my 12mhz 68k UNIX box at my office and one at home. Greatest thing since sliced bread. You can call ventel's or whatever 212-types you want all day. It autoanswers 2400 or 1200. I got mine for about $960 from the distributor in the Bay Area. For editing, 2400 baud is better than twice as good as 1200, ie, you get the whole screen and subjectively it is just minimally "right". /b

re: "I need to get an IEEE 488 interface for an IBM PC/AT." Sorry for posting an obviously commercial response, but this bounced when I tried to mail it. Hewlett-Packard offers an HP-IB (IEEE 488-1978) interface and software library for the IBM PC (and presumably its clones). Contact your local HP Sales office or HP dealer for details. Ask for data on "PC Instruments". We also offer low cost modular instruments which use your PC as a "glass front panel". These products are not made by my division, and all I have is a data sheet. Here is an informal summary of the IEEE 488 product: Product Description Price 61602AA HP_IB interface and software library for IBM PC $400.00 I believe that the library is only for PC-DOS and not Xenix.
