errrmmm... ya need to look at those origin lines a bit closer... russell is in
zone 5 which is africa... more specifically, he is in Free State, South Africa
(as his origin line states) ;)
9600baud radio modem connections carrying TCPIP (instead of UUCP or even FIDO)
are common methods of networking and communications over there... TCPIP has a
huge overhead when compared to UUCP and FIDO... i can't even imagine working
with it over a 9600baud radio link!
