Anthony,

I just finally read RACE's info from their Jan. 7 release. Their modem must be extremely low power. I know because for one of my EE Design classes, one of the groups needed to design a caller ID box. Now you can use the phone line for a MINUTE, as in very, very small, amount of power. If you use too much, the phone company will detect the loss and cut off your phone service, thereby eliminating the drain.

I sure hope they did good work on their design. I'd hate to see them swamped with complaints from users who got cut off. They would have to be mailed in, though, since their phone service would have been disconnected. If their modem uses a large fraction of the amount a regular modem uses, they are toast.

Stay in the Black! jimS
