Got that beat 1200 baud IBM modem about as big as a toaster hooked up to
an Altair PC Kit. All kinds of nice lites and switches on the front. Not
dip switchs but toggle switches. Any body remember this thing. I picked
it up at an auction. for $200 only because I knew what it was. Before the
Apple.....Before...well before anything that would fit on a desk, and it
was basically useless out of the box.
