Port master 2/e with 30 sportster modems hanging off it. That is how Erol’s internet started. They used the spinner racks from their video store to hold them all. I knew someone that worked there a little later, but the story was passed down. On Tue, Sep 1, 2020 at 4:36 PM Richard Cini via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Nice modem bank but not enough blinkenkights :-)
Something like that could work with some sort of RJ45-DB25 adapters (the Digi serial board I have uses DB25’s).

All —
Long ago I had a MultiTech POTS rack modem bank that I got when I cleaned out part of Temple University’s “elephant graveyard”. Of course, I don’t have it any longer, but I have a project I’m working on that could use one.
If anyone has one of these, or the Hayes equivalent, and wants to get rid of it, keep me in mind. It would just have to have at least 8 modem cards.
Thanks!

Don't forget the sexy USRobotics MP/8 and MP/16!
