Yes, I remember that. The 56K modems were supposed to be 'it' in terms of speed for the copper.

I was still happy of course with that as I am old and started running a bulletin board with 300 baud...

I started with 2400baud on Compuserve, but even with the aid of an off-line reader (TAPCIS, of blessed memory), the phone bill could be a wonder to behold... especially when I was a sysop on three forums shocked

My pbone bills were high and then someone introduced me to this little circuit thing that you could put on your phone so that when some dialled you it was free. Something to do with old phones being AC and switching to DC when the receiver was picked up. The circuit 'picked up' the phone but the exchange thought it wasn't connected.

All highly illegal but I was only 14 I think at the time.

Yes, I started off with an old ex BT 300 baud modem. The computer I had at the time did not have a terminal program, so I wrote one complete with built in dialler. (I think the computer was possibly my old Video Genie).

I just had a company phone line installed. I used to dial-in to CIS on the New York node because they got 19k2 before the UK. Ironically the tables were turned later on as I think we got 36k before them.

Short of recrimping every connection between here and the cab, and making sure the twist is tight in said joints, I suspect that's it, sync wise.


Some people take the dog for a walk on Sunday mornings.

Now who could this have been this morning, twisting & crimping & muttering "Where's my 80Mb?"

Guess who

Wait until they release the 35MHz profiles ... with those you will get your existing and then possibly a little more from the long tail ...
