    He's not back as of yet. Maybe we can get Tom Brown to answer your questions about your old system.

    Maybe Paul 65 would know, he seems pretty sharp and local.

    Now I'm feeling old. I remember BBS sites back when everything was dos based and 56k modems hadn't even been dreamed up yet. I think I still have some really old 1200 modems laying around if you need them.

    Edit: BTW what plane has a counter rotating single radial?

    Why would you need to build a new system? Every Winblows machine is dos based. Just go to the command prompt in accessories. Enter your DOS commands and give it a whirl.

    Sorry for my lack of info. I do not have a windows machine any more that I could put the modems in. I use Apple stuff now but you answered my question as to could I put those old modems in any windows system and have them work . I just want to access Hot Boat files . Thanks !!
