hello, here in good old europe you do not only find toothpaste but also really hardware: just in front of me on my desk there is a little box with a power connection, a switch and a red lamp which precipitates a little heat: that is a real internet instrument from the time when Khanyards tried to repair cerfbords in order to keep single packet-steamers moving. this instrument is nothing else than a soldering iron which calls itself TCP but to the hell i do not know why. (german manufacturer) may be darpa should found a museum with little things like this so that people at the year 2000 remember what networking is. regards gerd beling
