Blank. I am 13 years old, and have been given an account on a VAX running Ultrix for Internet use. My problem is that my machine is an 8088 that runs MS-Loss. I am writing code in various languages, and always run out of space. I have always been amazed by the Sun workstations, and this must be a crazy question, but does anybody have an extra Sun? I have always love Unix and X11, but my parents don't have the cash, and Tallahassee, FL is so small that I can't find somebody with one. This is definetly a insane post, but remember, by donating a computer to a child, you make America's future much brighter. If you would like to reply, please send e-mail to BBlank@mailer.cc.fsu.edu. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Thanks again. Sincerely, Bryan S.

The AT&T Extended Range Cordless Telephone 9530 operates in the 900-MHz frequency, providing virtually interference-free conversations with consistent sound quality up to one mile from the base. The AT&T 9530 uses full digital transmission to encode speech onto a radio signal, much like music is encoded onto a CD, and to provide clearer sound over a longer range than cordless phones operating in the 46/49-MHz frequency. AT&T's spread-spectrum, frequency-hopping architecture, which is patent-pending, actually avoids interference by "hopping" the radio signal among 50 of the available 173 channels during a conversation. If any of the channels experience interference, the 9530 automatically swaps it for a new, clearer channel. Because it operates over a different frequency, the AT&T 9530 is unaffected by forms of interference common to 46/49-MHz cordless phones, such as garage door openers, baby monitors and radio intercoms. It also performs well in environments typically difficult for conventional cordless, such as high-rise apartment and multilevel buildings. The random selection of 50 of 173 channels, along with digital speech encoding, makes it nearly impossible to eavesdrop on conversations. The AT&T 9530 was designed and developed by AT&T Bell Laboratories, employing advanced integrated circuit technology developed jointly with AT&T Microelectronics. The AT&T Extended Range Cordless Telephone 9530 will be available in late spring at AT&T Phone Centers nationwide for $449.99.
