[Color Computer] Re: [coco] software modem for OS-9

[orangedeal]

The closest comparable antic I can think of was some aquaintences of
mine that used the cassette ports hooked to the mic input and
extension speaker jacks of a couple CB radios.  They were able to
communicate 'digitally' across town.  This was under RSDOS, not OS 9.
 It really isn't legal to do that though.  CB's are supposed to be
voice only if I remember correctly.  Doubt that anyone cared.  In this
locale there were plenty of lightly used channels that could be used
without bothering anyone.
