MEtalGuy66 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Has anybody tried one of these with an ATARI 830 acoustic modem? http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/7830/?cpg=froogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 PMSL. But do mobile phones even transmit any of the frequencies that modems use? Pretty sure they keep a narrow band to help keep the data size low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they keep a narrow band to help keep the data size low. True, but if youve ever listened to a 300baud modem's data, I seriously doubt that would matter..

Rybags Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Kinda miss those old style handsets - the ergonomics craps over todays rubbish. You could actually cradle the thing between shoulder and cheek without doing an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliecron Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Yah. I did not really try to hard. I did manage to get some characters to print on the screen. I remember using the handset to talk to someone and they said I sounded real scratchy, so that may have been the problem. http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...l=830%20handset Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
