  Sellam, at the risk of being a dick, do you have any references or
not?

  Yes.
  I _haven't_ played with thermal printers.
  I _haven't_ played with acoustic couplers.
  I _haven't_ tried to connect a 300bps terminal to a console that
expects 9600.

  I _have_ this thing wanting access to manuals. Just Because.
  I also _have_ plenty of obtuse, sarcastic jerks in my world already.
