I had a VIC-20 with a TTY terminal emulator and a 300 buad modem that I
used to access IBM mainframes from home (so I wouldn't have to drive 20
miles on a Saturday). The company found out that I was using my own
equiptment to access their computers and "loaned" me a TI Silent 700 to use
instead. Years later, when I left that company, I tried to give them back
the Silent 700. They just laughed and told me to throw it away.
