It's not so addictive without the little >"beep", but it gets me through class! Well that must have been slow. ObHackOne: Getting this to post - I had to use the worst news reader i had. ObMyCalculator-cum-examCheatingHack: I also have a cool graphics calculator (CASIO) but with a PC link-up capability. So with a couple of bread boards and and a small transmitter and reciver, and of cource D/A and resirtors etc. Anyway i got a sort of serial port transmiter - which i could transmit anything over from my PC. Cool that was good i could almost get 5m in an open space. But if i could miniturise it it could be straped to your chest with stikky tape and a wire leading down you arm. So when the teacher wipes the mem than it could just be sceduled to transmit - you slyly put the phono plug in the calc and hey presto - Yo have your mem back. BTW: Can anyone help me with tring to get a shell acount: I have a PPP one - but you get a Service: prompt and you can enter: SLIP, PPP, PASSWD, or MAIL - when you enter MAIL you get: Username: , Password: ,? YEH you can enter !csh and get a unic prompt - but your user name is <POPUSER>-<USER> and home dir is /etc/pop. What i was wanting is just to get a % (or preferably #) prompt as soon as i login then i can type PPP.connect to get ppp. Zenith
