How about if we just expect people to keep within some distance of the
leading edge of the state of the art, a distance based on what their
expectations of it will be. You know you can't get 1200 baud from your
Morse Code key, so you don't try and you don't expect it. That key is
way back there from the leading edge but we still have them (I have 2).
There is nothing wrong with keeping any old level of technology and even
using it. The point is to not expect everyone else who prefers to move
on to new and better things to hold back for you. There are ways to deal
with such things, such as a 1200 baud AX25 2m FM node that gives whoever
connects to it a telnet "shell" to get into the higher speed TCP/IP nets.
Life is supposed to be a continual learning experience. Those who decide
to stop are, IMHO, dead.

TI packaged the first lot on or about 5/13/94 and started shipping.
Arrow started shipping late May. I received mine yesterday. The
unit is a little longer than the C26 version. All connectors are
identical.
