If the peer-to-peer features of the 128kb modems don't work, and if the
ricochet network shuts down they will be useless. If OTOH these features
work they could at least be useful for wireless LAN connections. I like
them because they are RS232 and/or USB devices, not requiring a PCMCIA
carrier (although they are big and heavy). I wonder if the merlin for 
ricochet PCMCIA modems can do peer-to-peer. We should try some peer-to-
peer experiments between our modems one of these days to verify if they 
work with the old and new modems ...
