              The Flight of The Mad Phone-Man's BBS
                  to a Friendly Foriegn Country



        Using my knowledge that the pigs grab your computer when
they bust you, I got real worried about loosing a BIG investment
Ive got in my IBM. I decide theres a better way....Move it! But
where? Where's safe from the PhBI? Well in the old days, to
escape the draft, you went to canada, why not ex-patrate my
board.... well the costs of a line are very high, lets see whats
available elsewhere.
        One afternoon, Im working at a local hospital, (one I do
telecom work for) and I ask the comm mgr if they have any links
to Canada? He says why yes, we have an inter-medical link over a
23ghz microwave into the city just across the border. I ask to
see the equipment. WOW! My dreams come true, its a D4 bank
(Rockwell) and its only got 4 channel cards in it. Now, being a
"Nice" guy, I offer to do maintainence on this equipment if he
would let me put up another channel...he agrees. The plot
thickens.
        I've got a sattelite office for a business near the
hospital on the other side, I quickly call up good ole Bell
Canada, and have them run a 2 wire line from the equipment room
to my office, Now the only thing to get is a couple of cards to
plug i the MUX to put me on the air.
        A 2 wire E&M card goes for bout $319. and Id need two, I
look around the state, and find one bad one in Rochester.... I'm
on my way that afternoon via motorcycle, the card is mine, and
the only thing I can find wrong is a bad voltage regulator. I
stop by the Rockwell office in suburban Rochester and exchange
the card, while I'm there, I buy a second one (Yeah, on my card)
and drive home.... by 9pm that nite the circut is up, and we are
on the air.
        Results- Very good line, no noise, can be converted to a
card for a modest fee if I want the bandwidth. So thats the story
of how the board went to a "Friendly foreign country"
