   I just found, among my souvenirs a booklet titled "FAX/DATA MODEM USER'S   
   MANUAL"   
   and stuck inside a list of Trumpet on Win3.11 setup commands   
      
   Before the advent of TCP/IP I recollect using Kermit on RSTS/E with scripts   
   to semi-automatically do terminal emulation and file transfers.   
   We were lucky to have 1200 baud modems, other in areas with 1940-1950 era   
   copper lines   
   were limited to 110 baud.   
      
   I also recall getting the job as the Software people needed someone to solder   
   RS232 cables   
   and maintai Digital LA120 terminal.   
      
   My, how time flies.
