Just cut it in half, and press it into the base. ObHack #2: Not much of a hack, but I'm hacking (hooking?) together 5 386's running linux to a 28.8 and a network hub to be my (low-bandwidth) internet site. It's a lot of work...

The dtmf a buttset can make isn't different >from the dtmf of the payphone. Weak, weak. And the brand name of the buttset? "Infobahn 3000". PLEASE. -- rjones@halcyon.com net.viking GCS/S/O: d?
