Liquor store clerk: I’m gonna need to see some age verification
Me: Prior to V.90 there were two incompatible standards for 56K modems. USRobotics pushed their own “X2”, while Lucent and Rockwell pushed the confusingly named “KFlex”
Liquor store clerk: enjoy your purchase.

Eu no bluesky estou me sentindo adolescente novamente, vendo as fotos carregarem devagarinho, bem como era no meu antigo USRobotics de 56k.

Took some time, but I finally managed to connect to a dial-up BBS using an old USRobotics modem, a serial to USB adapter, Linksys VoIP ATA and PuTTY.
Ha the nice sound of the modems talking to each other!

Atari ST hatte ein Freund, Musiker. Hatte auch einen A500, intern "aufgebohrt" auf 1MB (Chips Huckepack aufgelötet) und mit einem 68010 versehen und etwas übertacktet.
Aber dann Dev-Status bei Commodore und A3k UX SVR4, A2024, Tapedrive, USRobotics HST+, Grafikkarte, Token Ring, kostete ein Vermögen

この当時(1994年)の通信はUSRobotics Sportster 14400 FAX/Modemを使ってたみたいだな。
最初のISDNのTA(ターミナルアダプタ)MN128が発売されるのは1995年12月か。
テレホーダイも1995年から。

Das ultra illegale USRobotics HST Modem (14400 bps) war 12x schneller als das schnellste zugelassene Bundespost Modem (1200 bps). Viele Postleute waren damals überzeugt, dass die Geschwindigkeit physikalisch unmöglich ist.

Hey, there's more ancient (relatively) tech still out there in the field than a lot of folks realize
I literally had eyes & hands on a powered up, connected, functioning 56K USRobotics *audio modem* today, linking up RF transponders on a T1 line installed in 2008
I shit you not, in production!

Wahnsinn, wir schnell das gefühlt war. Etwas schneller ging es dann kurz darauf mit dem V34 USRobotics. Das konnte immerhin 2,5MB in 10 Minuten durch die Leitung quetschen.
Ein Film mit 4,2GB wäre also mit dem 14400er Modem in 648,15 Stunden übertragen worden. (2/4)

My campus had USRobotics Total Control dialup servers. They were fed by PRIs, so 24 lines per PRI, digital so it did 56K.
You could also dial in with an ISDN modem and get a symmetric 64kbps connection.
As a nerdy heavy dialup user I often helped them beta test new firmware and the X2 56K code.

Ich weiß es noch wie heute. Anfang der 90er Jahre war ich stolz wie Bolle, als ich mein erstes 14400er Modem gekauft habe. Ein USRobotics für über 1000 Mark. 14400 Bit/s, wohlgemerkt! Damit war es möglich, EIN (1!) Megabyte - genauer 1,08MB - in rasanten 10 Minuten zu übertragen! (1/4)

I read where, due to traffic, more than 80% of StarLink customers do not have internet speeds high enough to be called broadband. Lucky they still have their USRobotics dial-up modem. 14.4kbps

that's a really good modem. i love USRobotics products. i also used Zooms. it would be nice to retrofit current equipment to make that modem sound occasionally. just sayin'

Já si někdy v roce 92 nebo tak půjčil od známého modem USRobotics Courier HST, další známý mi na ústředně zablokoval počítadlo a já vytočil BBSku v Americe...

I've lately been trying to digitise old stuff. I started with family documents (recipes, notes, etc.) and photos and I've now moved to old computer stuff (driver CDs, demos, etc.)
