[phreakmonkey] get his hand dirty to work this antique modem out. It’s a Circa 1964 Livermore Data Systems “Model A” Acoustic Coupler Modem. You need to manual dial the phone to connect to the internet. He dials in and connects at 300baud. Then logs into a remote system and fires up lynx to load Wikipedia in full text mode. Cool huh?
