- My Uncle receives news feeds via CNBC over his local cable system. He plugs hi
- s cable line into a special box he purchasedfrom CNBC/FNN and from there it ent
- ers his computer via the serial port. He must run software which was supplied
- to view the news arriving. Now if he looks at the data coming through the por
- t with a communications program, the data appears to be encrypted. He would l
- ike to be able to write his own software to select certain news files coming ac
- ross and save them to disk. But the encryption poses a problem. Is anyone fam
- ilar with this system? If anyone is interested in seeing this raw data, I wil
- l surely mail you a bit. Thanks Greg Buschman@vm1.nodak.edu
