   Hi Benny!   
      
      
   Nope :/  Troika's project -- Ami'05 --fizzled. And the ACK endevore --    
   PowerVixxen -- was put on hold. So, why attempts to get hardware for Amiga    
   OS4 platform failing? Good evil mystery, IMO! :/

   Ask Hyperion and get the same identical answer. I guess....

   The A1 is currently not online. Since moving, I haven't worked out the new    
   ISP problems...

   I was just telling David Veatch, our wonderful REMOTE SYSOP, that I'm    
   nearby a computer center lab that has WindowsXP on Dells to do work. I use    
   a 256MB USB drive -- SanDisk to keep the AmigaOne tuned into the world. I    
   need to study some Roadshow on the A1 to setup DSLnetworking via AT&T    
   and Yahoo! :)   
      
   As for dialup via modem, I don't have my linux anymore. So, that's one reason    
   for not doing that. I'm not aware of any TERM program working with the A1    
   and a FAX modem to call Eastpointe BBS, but I'll check it out. Let you know    
   what happens.
