I followed the discussion on the QL forum about fitting network sockets to the Q68 case. This doesn't look very straightforward. I think removing the on/off switch and mounting the network socket there will be the best solution with minimal impact (I only need one network socket). Or is there a simple way to convert the sound output socket to a network socket with minimal damage? For users without a Q68, QBOX's FidoNet technology network utilities might be a better way to exchange files without having to log in to a BBS and manually downloading each file. I'll upload them asap. This way you could transfer files by putting them on hold as attachments and use POLL/MAIL to get them off the BBS. Oh well, I first thought the FidoNet utils would be useless these days but now there still seems to be a use case for them :-).
