I was thinking of writing a 'hacked' WWW interface for the zoomer. It would
require an end-client on a UNIX-host. Basically it would connect to the
end-client via the serial port (or modem) and the end-client would handle
retrieval and then transmit the data to the zoomer. It would no doubt be
very slow..but probably not much slower than SLIP. Its on my lengthy project
list now that I have the SDK, so promises.
