Actually I still have my very first modem. I is a 300 Bps home made contraption. Not suitable for running a Fidonet node because it is vey basic. It can not dial out by itself, not does it support answer mode. But it did work to call a BBS.

Later I made a 1200 Bps V23 modem based on the "world chip" That one could dial out and answer incoming calls, but it only worked with my 6809 Flex computer. (also home made, no longer functional)


Cheers, Michiel
