Why didn't it work? There was also an option for your ports...

Perhaps... When more people see this. Have you tried Hayes?

I see. Maybe you will make a good bureaucrat in the future, if the word
"not bad" is appropriate in this case...

[missing... words... words...]

Then why do you need a computer at all? And why email if you have
paper?

We tried... Even on 600 didn’t work out.

AM> or better yet XTR-modem...

It has rather weak sensitivity... We also made SDOS modems using optocouplers -
can’t compare with a transformer.

no, wait. Here it would be necessary to clarify this question to the end. you began to accuse me
of not keeping my word,
and, having promised to convert
MMD to CDOS for the whole country, I did not fulfill this. so?
and when I said that I didn’t promise THIS,
you delved into the archive and gave
to the world my words with your postscript:
“here, they say, it’s a promise.” I didn’t find any promises in these
words,
which I quite reasonably noted to you a little higher.
after that you call me a bureaucrat.
I don’t understand why?

AM> yes, it’s lying nearby...
AM> now I’ll put some oil on it and try it.. :)

Better try it with a kirosine - cps will be cooler :)
