[comp.dcom.lans] HP bbs with 4972A utilities

Hi.

With my latest software update for my HP4972 I got a message about a HP 
bulletin board in the US. I am wondering if anybody has seen the files 
avaliable for FTP somewhere ? The cost of dialling the US is very large 
compared to using ftp..... Also 2400bps is not very fun.

This is something that we are considering providing in the future
but it will not be implemented for sometime.

In the meantime, log onto the BBS to see what you want, and then
write a note telling us what files you want. We will then
send them to you.

BTW : The BBS is (719)531-4523
		1200, 2400, 9600 bps
		8bit, no parity, 1 stop bit
