I have some old modems (TRS-80, acoustic and etc.)
which I would like to
use (flashing LEDs are cool) so, I want to build a little telco emulator to
interface with the modems in one of my Linux boxes.
You'd think it would be easy, and you think someone out there would
have done it already. I wanted to do this once upon a time. It would
seem like a great project for an old PC, a parallel port, a few
junk-box relays and maybe a sound card. I think I mentioned this
idea on this list a year or two ago, and Sellam (apparently a telco
wizard) thought it could get complicated.
