I was speaking metaphorically, as if the last working modem in our zone was in
a museum.  In truth I don't know where Scott keeps it or even if it works.

Damn!  I was poking around in Radius' config yesterday but didn't take any
notice.  There's setups for two modems in it.  Oops.

I'm looking at the config file for BinkleyTerm now and the init string was
'ATZ!'.  :)  Wait for it; its Terminal app's init included 'ATL3', which
probably means there was a reduced noisiness option (for the USR[shrug]).

IAC, there's plenty of sound samples on Ewwtoob to bring on the memories.

Cheers,
Paul.
