ok i was thinking after reading a bunch of these teleconference messages.
I thought up a plan that wouldn't require us to make networked together to
form a chat thing. Instead, use the already existing chat place - IRC. The
way this would work is that the calculator would have an RT-link and your
computer would have an RT-link (use the graphlink to hook the RT-link to
computer). Then, boost the range of the RT-link by quite a bit (3 miles??
if possible?). Now, make a program to put on the calc that would
comunicate with the computer and receive messages from an IRC prgram on
the com. Hmm.. after reading this, it sounds confusing, but do you guys
get what i'm saying??
