New BBS in Maryland

It depends somewhat on the modem, but slower speeds work well in my experience.  As long as there isn’t much packet loss, 110 and 300 bps ought to work quite well.

Sometime I’ve always been curious about (but not enough to try it myself yet) is how SLOW can the connections go? Could you establish a 300 baud connection? 110?

Avoiding the question of WHY for them moment...

 

Cheers,

VoIP lines *can* work for modems. I have done 33.6kbps connections on Vonage in the past. HST modems seem to work better than v.34/v.90/v.92 modems on VoIP though.

Cool! Wish I could call but I haven't had a POTS line for years. I gather they're more expensive than they used to be ...? What do they charge you for just a POTS line these days?
