Rogers definitely has one you can rent or buy. Early reports are it's
pretty good. But you can't directly save anything off of it. So I was
thinking if it was possible to build one for around the same price as
they sell theirs it might be worth the effort.
The Digital terminal does have a usb port on it, so it might be possible
to control. I forget what they call them in USB terms, but it's the
"computer" end, not the "accessory" end.
I was thinking more along the lines of, does someone make a digital
terminal card for a pc? My guess is things aren't standardized enough
for there to be one, but it might be possible.
