Have any of y'all tried using one of those novelty "retro" cell phone
handsets in an acoustic coupled modem? I wonder whether their output level and mic
sensitivity are sufficient, and whether their dimensions are close enough to a good
ol' Model 500 handset to fit an acoustic coupler well.
I may just order one up and try it, but I figured I'd ask if anybody else has tried it
first. It would be silly fun to dial up over my iPhone with an acoustic coupler attached
to my TRS-80 Model 100, or the DEC LA12 Correspondent terminal I have on the way from the
ePlace. Not that I know of any 300 baud modems to call up, though...
