In this case, Dave .. chuckle ...

 DD> My son left monday to study in Japan for 10 months.  Given the expensive
 DD> phone rates between here and Japan I sought a way to use the internet to
 DD> keep in touch with him.

since the business of Morse Code isn't so important any longer, the two of you 
could get ham licenses and talk for hours direct at zero per hour cost! Of 
course it's a little late since he left Monday, and too, it's an open party 
line.  Thus confidential communications are out!  But there's a lot of fun in 
that game especially if two family members split by distance do have contact 
like this.

As well, the cost of the toys isn't inconsiderable for long distance regular 
work too .. sigh ...

I will note that finding OS/2 programs to work with for Packet, APRS, and other 
digital dainties are few and far between ...

    In humor here ... OK?

But ... since I've been one for almost 50 years now, I know there are some 
advantages to being a ham operator .. and .. if turns out, to be a family with 
more than one of them in it!!


--> Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)
