56K Line Test: Yet another Taxi Mike find! This one is GREAT if you are considering a new 56K modem. You use your computers terminal application, like Hyperterminal, and dial in to their number, and easily perform a line test to determine if USR's x2 technology will work with your phone line.; Check it a few times, different days, and different time of the day, to get a thorough test.; Thanks, Taxi Mike - for another hot find!
Browse the Web Backwards: JT sent me this one. You can imagine my surprise when this page opened up.; The link above will show you your familiar Web Wanderer web page - backwards. Follow a few links - you'll have fun. You can get to other web pages from mine or click here to do your own: http://smeg.com/backwards/; BTW - there's practical joke potential here. Your company web master and MIS groups are likely targets. Thanks, JT!!!
Play crossword puzzles online: Listener Dale submitted this to me via ICQ. Dale says that "The Across Puzzle Gallery contains a huge variety of crossword puzzles, classified by difficulty. Unfortunately, it does require another annoying plug-in, but worth it for anyone who enjoys crosswords. Very fine graphics, and the interface is not confusing."; I checked out the site - Dale is 100% correct. This is VERY cool!! Puzzlers should not miss this site! Thanks, Dale!
