Our whole university uses it with only one 56K line feeding the entire Campus Network. Now, when do you anticipate the majority of hams having that kind of capability??

Speaking from experience, I'd characterize it more as barely useable... It doesn't win me too many friends on our shared 56K lan either. Oh well, it gives us a goal to shoot for...

To: ham-digital@ucsd.edu Hi All: I have a dead Emerson 1415EM VGA monitor. I tried to get Emerson cutomer service but got disconnected every time. I never talked to a real person. If anyone has a service manual for this monitor I would very much like to get a copy of it. Even a circuit schematic would help. The technician who takes care of The Engineering Tech. departments equipment is trying to fix it but it is difficult with no information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
