You can order from this company Techtronics. They have mod chips and kits that give you the ability to skip FBI Warnings, change regions, and remove macrovision. They have a nice kit for my Pioneer 525 here, but it's too expensive for the little use it would get for me.

Works with Series 1 and DirectTiVos, slips right in, then the new 3.0 will autodetect it and install the right drivers. After installation, put ",#401" as your phone number and it will use the net connection from now on.
Hmm... you know that the service provides a PIN code that the second the person hears the prompt, they can press it on the phone and they go through without further delay? For instance, on my phone I have one friend who doesn't transmit CID, so I gave him the PIN and now he gets through without a problem. Unless the fact that they have to enter the PIN is a problem for you too.

Out West it's called Privacy Manager, but in the Northeast it's called Call Intercept. Number of telespam I've gotten per day has gone from 2-3 to 0. Either the autodialers can't handle the automated prompt to record their name, or the telemarketers know they have no sale and just hang up instead of recording their name.
What a great series that was.. I remember playing the Ancient Art of War and the Ancient Art of War at Sea.. A guy actually has a website dedicated to this series here. Has the game for download on various platforms, a FAQ, screenshots, and hints.
For all the people recommending VNC, I also recommend TightVNC. It's a branch of the VNC code except it's optimized for low bandwidth communication. I have found it to be much better than normal VNC. (Information below stolen from the homepage)
Local cursor handling. Cursor movements do not generate screen updates any
more, remote cursor movements are processed locally by the viewer, so you do not see
remote cursor pointer moving too slow behind the local cursor.
Efficient compression algorithms. New Tight encoding is optimized for slow
and medium-speed connections and thus generates much less traffic as compared to
traditional VNC encodings.
Configurable compression levels. You can choose any appropriate level of
compromise between compression ratios and coding speed, depending on the your
connection speed and processor power.
Optional JPEG compression. If you don't care too much about perfect image
quality, you can enable JPEG coder which would compress color-rich screen areas much
more efficiently (and image quality level is configurable too).
Web browser access. TightVNC includes Java viewer with support for Tight
encoding and local cursor feature (viewer applet may be accessed via built-in HTTP
server as in the standard VNC).
Operating under Unix and Windows. All new features listed above are available
in both Unix and Win32 versions of TightVNC.
Advanced Properties dialog in WinVNC. Unlike the standard VNC, TightVNC gives
you a possibility to set a number of advanced settings directly from the WinVNC GUI,
and to apply changed settings immediately. There is no need to launch regedit
to set query options, connection priority, to allow loopback connections, disable HTTP
server etc.
Automatic SSH tunneling on Unix. Unix version of TightVNC viewer can tunnel
connections via SSH automatically using local SSH or OpenSSH client installation.
And more. A number of other improvements, performance optimizations and
bugfixes, see WhatsNew and ChangeLog documents.
Looks like we're not the only ones having this problem... Google Groups Search.. I'm going to have one of the Chinese guys here at work help me craft a letter to send to their Uplinks, perhaps it's just a language problem instead of ignorance..
My company recieved the same thing from trafficbbs.net on all our public email accounts today. Wonder if this is the spammer's alternate/backup once magnet gets shut down.
Das Boot also includes a hilarious scene with Comic Book Guy:
Homer: Welcome to the Internet, my friend, how can I help you? Comic Book Guy: I'm interested in upgrading my 28.8 kilobaud Internet connection to a 1.5 megabit fiber optic T1 line. Will you be able to provide an IP router that's compatible with my token ring ethernet LAN configuration? Homer: [stares blankly for a few seconds] Can I have some money now?
If you are into Star Wars stuff, Master Replicas has been given the license to create authentic props like Luke Skywalker's lightsabre and Han Solo's blaster, as well as more in the future. They're great looking, but expensive. Also available at Action Figure Express or Entertainment Earth.
ELEPHANTS,NEIN NUMB AND FEET (curiosity) (*)
Lucas used several linguists to create languages for the aliens. The one which Nein Numb speaks is based off a Kenyan dialect. By accident or design, one of his lines ends up sounding like, "One thousand herds of elephants are standing on my foot" in this language.
Some guy discussing how Darth Vader can't be Luke Skywalker's father in 1982, mentions how they named TK-421 differently in the book vs the movie. Woo.;)

This will be the first online RPG I'll be trying since Ultima Online.. I hope it will be cool, although you can't be a stormtrooper
Wow.. they sure have a good website..

You've never tasted Water Joe. Caffeinated water with no bitter aftertaste. Brought a case in for the night shift and it disappeared pretty quickly.

Thanks for the mirror... now if only we could find one for the speech pack and MP3 audio track..
Surprisingly, this is one of the few games from the old Sierra that is still being made..
The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions
It's pretty faithful to the original, and it's $30.00 at Amazon.

The two episodes you refer to are:

5F11 - Das Boot
Das Boot also includes a hilarious scene with Comic Book Guy:
