Fantastic! Where will this baby be housed? (hint, hint)
I am curretnly installing (wurg) WIN 95, cause I am supposed to write
some ISDN-Stuff. Perhaps I can do a port of the Linux-ISDN systems
(I have to look at them anyway :))
> Well, isn't that good news?
It is fantastic news :)
What was the main interest of the telecommunications-tie?
