Used a computer to find syndie auth codes and spam unlimited PDA bombs fpr only 1 telecrystal.

Also two cool mech comp machines I've seen would be the remote door opener, and the remote electrocutor. Probably isnt possible anymore but a remote russian revolver might have been possible in the past

in theory you could also make a mass door bolter if you wanted to be super evil. APC’s also use packets...but I’ve never been able to make them react to any

I have tried to use DWAINE to call the shuttle, but never actually succeeded without also using SigPal (in ThinkDOS). I mananged to connect a DWAINE terminal to a Comms Dish, but got stuck there. Can you tell how you did it?

In addition to his method you can also use sigpal to send the packet

This is very useful since the mainframe often loses power.
