Just curious how many of you still uses good-ole classic analog >> modem technology daily

[Seth Lewin]

How about this: I work as an in-house medical consultant to the health-fraud
operation of a major US computer-services company (no names but Ross Perot
used to own it...) and because I'm a consultant and not an employee (one day
a week for three years now) I am refused access to the company network - so
I work on an old iMac I restored and leave at that location,  and I access
the web via dialup using my daughter's Earthlink account.  The internal
phone network there must be noisy; all I can get is maybe 24K. Not fun.
Used to do it on a PB 3400 but someone tossed the iMac at the local town
dump and I adopted it - so now I can leave the even-older PB at home where
it runs a SCSI scanner.
