Anyway, this demo brings-up an interesting question.
What kind of dial-
up
systems existed in the 70's before consumer-oriented services like
CompuServe?
There were probably a lot, but I remember "Call/370", which I think was
one of the first commercial ones.
In 1977/78 I recall using Anderson Jacobson 300 baud acoustic couplers
(there's a entire story right there) and verious mechanical terminals,
all very large.
