Here are my T1600 modems which worked before CompuServe swiched telephone
numbers, and they are similar to the one somebody else had on the net, which
worked for him.

However, the T1600 can communicate with T2500 modes, and presently I have
a INTEL modem communicating with Compuserve at 9600 baud.
I have tried other settings, but none of them work.
I tried calling Telebit a couple of times but got tired of waiting for
an engineer and unfortunately their phone mailbox was full so I could not
leave my message. So my humble request remains, if anyone able to communicate
with their T1600 to CompuServe's USRobotics modem, if so please send me your
S register settings. Or, please send me your T2500 settings.

SCO Unix /usr/lib/uucp/crontab.eg runs 'uudemon.poll' at 10 minutes
past the hour.  I would bet that the surge is all of us SCO boxes calling

Some people don't want a sense of humor.  As her date, I can tell you we
_both_ had a good time.  What prompted her to mention having a sense of
humor was one fellow, seated up front, who only laughed whenever the
comedian was making fun of him and the way that he wasn't laughing at
anything else.  At all.  Period.


Anywho, I'd have to agree with you, whether you spell humor with one "u"
or two....

Your talking here about a totally different thing. The type order 
you refer to is directed against *one* person, by name. The order 
issued by O'Neal (sp) could have been applied to anyone, including 
you, who happened to be walking on the same sidewalk as the OR 
people at the same time. It would have then been up to *you* to 
prove that you were not a part of OR! 

The order issued in Houston was far to broad, and did not require 
*any* illegal act to be comitted before it was violated. Look at 
the order issued by the Judge in New York during the Democratic 
Convention, that is an example of how these orders should be done. 
When an order allows a person who has no past history of 
violations to be jailed and fined for nothing more than standing 
on the sidewalk with others who hold similar views, which this one 
did, it's unconstitutional to me!

I talked to one of the operators at Action Photo. She said that they
clean their film processor every day and that's what it takes to prevent
scratching. Apparently Eckerd's, Randall's, and Skylark don't do this.

I used to mail to Seattle Film Works and had good service, too. No scratches,
ever. I started using Action Photo when I took a color photography class at
Rice and just wanted film processing, no prints. You'll never be satisfied
with a one-hour lab print once you've learned to do custom prints yourself.

This is mostly incorrect, the first six arrested were OR leaders 
who were on the sidewalk across the street at the time and had not 
crossed the street that day. Who was arrested (since, as you state 
almost all those there were in violation of the 100ft rule) was 
determined by the lawyers for Planned Parenthood. 

As I stated once before (in case you didn't see the post), judge 
O'neil's order is, IMHO, a gross violation of constitutional

be protected the same as anyones. If OR continues the appeals on 
this one, I suspect O'Neil may get shot down on this one.

I don't know where they got my name and birthday from (maybe a friend),
but SpellBinders sent me a coupon to their club for my birthday. It gave
us the cover charge (about $5.50 weekdays, $8.50 weekends incl. Friday per
person) for free up to 6 people. They also serve drinks and munchies (we
spent $23 for 2 people). The waitstaff is very friendly and they have two
shows on Fridays.

Anyway, you show up at 7 pm to wait for the 7:45 pm show. You stand &  wait
in a lobby with a small bar. Then when it's showtime, everyone goes into
an room with arena style seating to small tables and chairs. A few more
minutes and the show begins. We saw three comics, a man, a woman and the
name-comic, Jeff Wayne. All in all, they were pretty good. Each of them
had a few creditials attached to their name, such as having been on HBO
and such. The birthday coupon also entitled me to a piece of cake with a
candle and a small bouquet of balloons. It was a fun place to go on a
date, but maybe you might want to make sure your date has a sense of humor
first.

I am looking for new bowlers for our league. It is the VIP league which bowls
on Fridays at 8:45 PM at Palace Lanes on Bellaire Blvd. We are a mixed league
sanctioned by the ABC/WIBC. We use an 80% handicap and have bowlers ranging
from the beginners to ones with 180+ averages. I have been in the league for
over 10 years and have just become secretary. We want to add some more teams
so if you are interested in bowling a full winter league, call me at 

798-3532 or send me e-mail. I will be in contact with you when I hear from you

{The league really is alot of fun. We are competive but in a friendly way. It
is a good way to spend a Friday night. We now bowl with 4 members on a team
and since Palace put in the computerized scoring, we finish around 10:30 to
11:00 PM. I am looking for either full teams or interested individuals for whom
we will find a place. The cost will be $11.00/week plus the sanction fee. The
league will meet next Friday at 8:00 PM in the bar.)

I had one roll developed at Eckerd about a year ago.  They scratched

If O'Neil gets shot down, it will immediately render null and void over 600
years worth of common law.

You see, restraining orders of the type "you must remain more than 100 feet
from entity X" have been legal ever since the founding of this nation (and
for much before the founding of this nation, for that matter). My father
once got such a restraining order on an unsavory individual who had
disrupted his place of business. The principle is no different here -- the
OR people have a perfect right to speak, but they do NOT have a right to
disrupt a place of business. The only way that they can get O'Neil's
restraining order overturned is if they can prove that they do not have a
history of disrupting places of businesses -- i.e., if they can prove that
O'Neil had no probable cause for placing the order. I doubt they can do
that. OR's track record is clear -- whenever possible they attempt to block
the entrances of clinics, intimidate clients, and otherwise disrupt places
of business. When an organization has such a track record, and announces
that it will disrupt yet another place of business, that yet another place
of business (Planned Parenthood) has a perfect right, under law, to get a
restraining order of the type that O'Neil issued.

We're not talking about something out of left field here, folks.
Restraining orders of the type "you must remain 100 feet from XYZ" are
placed every day. Usually they're placed for things like, e.g.,
wife-battering husbands who conduct campaigns of intimidation against their
ex-wives, and other things of that nature. It's clear that OR was engaged
in a campaign of intimidation against Planned Parenthood, and thus Planned
Parenthood had the same right as a battered wife to get such a restraining
order.
