- The problem with your setup, although it is really neat, is that you don't
- have Ethernet/ISDN, your keyboard is not remote. There is a new PC out from
- Gateway which is basically a Home Theatre with a 31" TV (which doubles as a
- 640x480 non-interlaced VGA monitor), Ethernet, CD, remote keyboard/trackball,
- etc...It's all integrated and ready for ISDN/Ethernet/ Cable modems. 28.8k
- modems are still too slow for browsing. The Amiga should come with Ethernet
- built in or an inexpensive way to do it. As it is, the cost of a PCMCIA
- Ethernet card and the sw to drive it puts the A1200 out of range for being on
- a fast LAN.
