Track down the text files on ticalc.org...  the LINKPROT, PORT_7 and
T__PORTS ones... I think it is 9600 bps (so I've been told)... there is
plenty of info in the files...

I am having and extremely hard time "justifying" the Teleconference thing,
the range on a RT link is short, (within yelling distance).  (to cut my
BSing short:)  I think the teleconference is only really usable as a
"cheat" for tests and such in school.  Possible you could "Talk" to a
buddy in the next room, but...  


I think it would be pretty slick if you could get a serverless multi-user
limited freq network going (and implementing a chat on it would be easy),
but developing the network itself will most likely be, uhm, hard.
