I noticed one of John's posts in the Yahoo 9640 group that he says there is no
wireless  coverage where he is. I wonder if that's just his local telco,
because the carrier that I, wearing a different hat, am a dealer for, uses the
"Red" network, if you follow me, and their  map says Indiana is almost
completely covered, and mostly 4G. Can you confirm that there is definitely no
wireless where he is, or netmail me an address so I can find out for sure?

By all means I'd like to see him able to use the boards, and the rest of it.

Yep, and damned if I've figured out how to crosspost with MBSE's internal
editor yet. I would like to see a TI file echos, too.

Anything to consolidate the community is great, if you ask me. It's a subject
I'm studying keenly these days.
