       Quick question: Which one of you is so old that he still know this??I asked that on the Birdsite, which I've left, and it brought up a lot of nice memories and stories. So, leave something, like photos of your data transmission devices :) #RetroComputing #AcousticCoupler

       @Rp12Biker@oldbytes.space I'm not that old but I know how a modem works... and how it can be used to send a modulated signal with data over the phone line.

       Oh yes, before questions come up. It was originally a C64C. But since only IBM-certified devices come into Uwe's room, it had to be repainted and relabeled. Including patched ROM and *five* fans inside 😂​

       @Rp12Biker Ah the acostic coupler,  I know it is called that as I had a book on practical things to do with a microcomputer, back in the 80s.   One of the things that people seem to want from fedi is a return to the community spirit of that era. SO the days before big tech, corporate control and surveillance capitalism grabbing all the data it can on people for profit and advertising.
