RE: Hacking a Bush IBX 101

[nigel.giddings@xxxxxxx]

Nik,

I paid a bit over the odds for mine, £22.50 in a PC shop in Bluewater, NW
Kent.
Not the usual PC World...

Stocks were limited and as it says in the articles these are no longer in
production.

Connected one at my Fathers house on Sunday, Allowing for TV as a monitor
and
dial-up, as opposed to BB, they work quite well. Although I have tried to
return his e-mail and his address is being rejected at the moment... The
idea
is to get him to take the plunge and spend £100 on a 'proper PC'...

Then I'll try and use them for monitoring Homeseer with Ultraview but not
sure
if it can support animated GIFs...

Nigel
