Now that we seem to have drifted to the topic of Packet radio, I was
wondering if anyone knew where I could pick up an inexpensive box (not sure
what they're called - the packet converter?). Even an old, "obsolete one
would be good, since I was going to try to connect it to a 286 or 8088
laptop (probably 8088 Zenith).
