Well in this case it was a Mass.#. I find many companies that have files on
their BBS's but not on a web or FTP site. It does seem to be changing tho. It's
certainly better PR than just a big fancy site extolling some of the newest
products. IBM and Apple certainly seem hip to this.
Nec also had archives of messages past that contained some good info. I might
have to check it out again to get info on my Multispeed that seems hard to come
by elsewhere, even scouring all of Deja-vu. Hopefully the old archives are
still available. Actually with the new phone rates it's not that expensive.
