  (sigh) Count on a screw up when you try to put an article together when
you tired.

  One important piece of information was missing in my article:

	Graphon Corporation
	1980 Concourse Drive
	San Jose, CA 95131
	800-472-7466
	408-435-8400 (outside the U.S.)

  And, it should be pointed out that the OptimaX 200 needs an error free
RS232 link.  Therefore you'll need an error correcting modem if you plan
on using it with a modem.  It would have been nice if Graphon had
included an optional mode in their server/terminal protocol to have the
server and terminal run their own error correction.  This would have
allowed you to run it across a lousy line or an older modem.  Hopefully
this will be addressed in the future.

  Finally, an interesting thought strikes me that if these terminals
become popular enough who knows what the ever innovative Telebit
Corporation might be able to do along the lines of spoofing the Graphon
protocol? ...
