    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 I missed you, I had to run up to the airport at 4 and was back to work by 5. As I passed your house I noticed that your garage doors were closed so I did not stop.

    I'm glad that the scaffolding is working out, I have stilts if you need them.

    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 !!
