An Acorm Master 128 is an 8bit machine, which has one serial input, therefore
only one caller at a time. My machine is now 40 years old so a 24/7 operation
is not a good idea for a machine thats so old. The board is very,very retro

and a reflection of what Viewdta boards were like in the 1980's UK. So a
limited schedule is appropriate and consistemt with how things were back then.
Viewdata is now available with SyncTerm. You can access a new versio here

Thanks Brian ..
