Heh, and we all know who they are, right? I've been trying to talk Whistle into selling into the Australian market; there are a lot of people in the 'right' places here who, IMHO, would consider something like the WJ _exactly_ the right thing to have. In most particular, Telstra have pulled some interesting stuff that means that a business could have a full-time 'net connection for $500 once-off and less then 20c/MB. For an org with a network of Mac/PC system (common), something like the WJ would just become the "Internet machine" in conjunction with this. I have been _itching_ to be able to sell this to people; I haven't dared try to put together something as complex single-handed though 8( > Adrian -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
