What was your first modem? Mine was a kit from Micromint in Long Island. Very cool.
My first was a crappy 300 baud Atari 835, worked for about a month. Then I found out that the the CPU crapped out (8048, with 1K firmware burned in). So a few months later I started working for Microcomm (not the modem maker) and they had 2 Cermetek 300/1200 dev board modems. They work great. :-) I got to dial into all sorts of BBS. I even got dial into the Soup Kitchen (Rutgers) and t he USENET before the great renaming. Then a bit later Archie, Veronica, and Jugghead. The research project I found and learned about showed the promise of the Internet before Greencard SPAM. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
