I admit that taking advice from a list without a grain of salt (understanding) before forging ahead yields demonstrations of Darwin's laws, though...

Is this why mail to 'trouble@hackfurby.com' bounces with invalid user? 8{) btw: Thanks for the Furby schematic! If I could only find one for my Teddy Ruxpin, I could hack it too. There was an article in DDJ quite some time ago about making Teddy tapes at home, but I can't find my copy any more. It should be a breaze with OPL/midi and .wav/au support now. Anyone? - Jy@ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
