Re: COMPUTAX, and Phone line.
In message <F34742021C@hagiga.jct.ac.il> you write:

Slow as it may seem compared to the MAN speeds we got used to at the
universities, I think that showing access to the Web should be a major
goal in the booth - this is the hottest thing people hear about in the
media, and showing Netscape/Xmosaic "just like on T.V." may creat big
waves.
I've seen a reasonable response with a decent 28,800 modem. Does
anyone have access to such? What about trying to hook to a booth
nearby with a good connection?
|Besides, there are only few things you can show on one box at a time.
|We need as many workstations as we can get! ...how much desk space do
|we have though?
Maybe arrenge people bring even cheapo 486's and use them as
X-terminals?
The above reminds me - trivial things like ytalk/irc might also
impress Mess-DOS laymens, don't you think?
