hi Kai,
'hey-- I can remember back in my *very* early days with IBM---late '70s---we
used to punch our field service codes into a black box the size of a brick...
in fact we called it "the brick". Anyway, once per day I would strap that
"brick" to the receiver of any available phone handset and it would transmit
my daily records at 300baud --- I can still hear that thing in my nightmares.
On a happier note... I don't report *anything* to IBM anymore... at any baud
rate... for any reason... EVER! aaaaah.
