Never used the uuencode routine - I zipped it first. But I did have to
retire my modem - it was a 56k... but an IDE interface. I'm just worried
'bout my next m/b upgrade (in five years or so, just did it the beginning
of the year), because I've got a perfectly good big flatbed scanner...
SCSI, pci card.

THEY do try to lock down the 'Net... there was a Net before there was a
Web, and a *lot* of it was servers (sorry, minicomputers) dialing each
other up every hour or day.... The joys of the original design specs for
the 'Net.
