Signatures

Several years ago an engineer at one of the big modem makers (US Robotics, Hayes, or ???) said the theoretical maximum on a modem was 33K bps. Then somebody figured out that if you jack up the voltage a little bit at the CO, you could get a theoretical 56. That's what begat the 56K modems. It does require updated equipment at the CO, and the wires to be in "good shape" to actually achieve something close to 50K though.

Just read about a new modem standard V92. Supposed to bump up the 56K to (something) higher still. Probably will require further tweaking of the CO. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

And, a whole slew of people running down to buy new modems and have them installed. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Yet another new product to create a demand. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I guy I used to work for called it the "Mortgage Continuation Program". Point was that all the engineers working on this stuff have houses (& mortgages), and needed to keep inventing stuff in order to eat & sleep. No different than anyone else....

Lets see if I got this right...

It must be nice to have talent. I never could draw a straight line and still can't. My creativity is very limited. I envy you guys that can do that, build neat useful implements for your tractors, etc. I have tried to come up with a signature using paintbrush, but my wife suggested I not use it since it looked more like a 4wheeler than a tractor. And a cartoon version at that. Guess I'll have to use a picture.
