- Perhaps the PP2000 you found was, like many other phones at JFK, out
- of order? I have spent quite a few hours waiting around between
- flights at EWR, ORD, HOU, and DFW lately, and have never had a problem
- logging into the Westmark UNIX system from any of them. I've even
- posted an article to this Digest from one such terminal, in which I
- described the device.

- I only wish it could talk at 9600, and that I could find the ~ on
- its keyboard!
