I remember having my first Telebit Trailblazer 9600
baud modem. Reliable 9600 baud over voice-grade POTS lines. They were very remarkable
devices for their time. I used it on my home Unix system way back when for UUCP
connections (for email and USENET) to a number of local UUCP hubs. The training tones
for it were pretty crazy sounding, very unique.
IIRC the Trailblazer spoofed the UUCP 'g' protocol which resulted in
higher throughput.
I feel old.
You and me both, brother.
