This is a test ... now on broadband via internode. It's 26 years since I first plugged in a PSTN modem![1] V.23 for those who remember 1200/75 - I had the fast one - not that it mattered much, my mate only had a V.21 300/300 I could connect to! Cheers Goaty 1. Well, I wasn't on line all the time, just felt like it! -- _--_|\ John Lamp - in beautiful downtown Highton / \ IRC: DoD#:1906 Ulysses#:10185 Vulcan Nomad \_.--._/ http://www.gorider.cjb.net/ Phone: 0409 512 254 v mailto: Fax: 03 5227 2151 Hear no Evo, See no Evo, Fear no Evo
I had a 300 baud modem before I had a 1200/75 also. Didn't you have a local BBS you could call into? G-S
I remember we had a 110 baud voice phone portable modem. You dialled the number, arranged the connection verbally, then put the handpiece in this wooden box. The modem converted the signal to sound and sent it via the handpiece microphone. Ahh, those were the days. Sometimes it even worked! Theo
