Shoot, no need to get them off of MonsterScope.  Just get an AT&T Manual
(the proper one of course).  You make make an application called
'NeXT Box' or 'Magneesium Box'. <grin>

Joel Sumner                     GENIE:JOEL.SUMNER     These opinions are 
q4kx@cornella.ccs.cornell.edu   q4kx@cornella         warranted for 90 days or
q4kx@vax5.cit.cornell.edu       q4kx@crnlvax5         60,000 miles.  Whichever

Never test for an error condition that you can't handle.

Early in the days of blue boxing, some folks at the MIT AI Lab hacked
up a tone generator for the PDP-11.  Purely an academic exercise, mind

	Ok, where's the box?

and everyone pointed at this refrigerator sized machine...
