- No, there is an alternative to a bridgeboard: my GoldenGateII board. The
- GoldenGateII allows you to run PC cards as Amiga devices, instead of having
- to use IBM software. So, you can run a PC internal modem using VLT, Term,
- or whatever program you like.

- Anyone who is interested can email me for the specs.
