Re: ISO info on Patti 10/29/97 recording

[skywalker <skywalker919919>]

thanks very much for your replies, thanks to which I have also went to
the babel-list archives.  it seems the show was a rocktropolis.com
RealAudio streaming cybercast in 2 versions: 28.8k and dual-ISDN
(100k).

is Stuart out there?  anybody else have the (his) complete webcast?

in any case, if I do patch with the webcast, I won't be able to upload
it to Dime as even the 100k steam doesn't meet Dime's 192k threshold;
I'll pick someplace else to upload it.
