Digest reply...

   BTW: I am looking around for ADSL modems anyone knows where I can
   get two cheap ones!

PairGain claims their 2d generation models will be out in June/July
"between $600 and $1000".  This is the "Etherphone" model.  With two
of these and a dry pair, I should get 4Mb/s downloads and 640Kb/s 
uploads through my ISP.

ISDN is obsolete.

   Ok, ok - I'll try to do what I can. I have a feeling I will learn many 
   things I haven't otherwise. Could some just fish out a reference to a 
   real RDBMS (no toys - I mean something like Oracle, Gupta, Informix, 
   etc.) running on FreeBSD so that I would not have to throw it out of my 
   server and replace it with Windows NT or OS/2 when the money for the 
   database arrives (and it will).

Postgres95.  It's free, so you can have it in place and in production
*before* the money comes.  Fait accompli.

   Variable references are plain old variable references.  Why is GCC so
   complicated?

Because it is portable.
