Interesting physical layer implementation

I’m always fascinated by the flexibility of layered networking  models.   Here is the physical layer of the OSI model using Bongo drums, while still running a proper network stack with TCP/IP.  This rules!  http://eagle.auc.ca/~dreid/

I got into a longer than expected call/email thing and therefore I’m running late for lab.  I’ll be there in about 30 minutes and we can get started.
