Old tech apparently still works

I ran into something interesting yesterday; a guy hooking up to the internet using a 45 year old, 300 baud modem.
Granted, it's through a Linux box he has at work, but still it's fun to see that the thing still functions.

Here is his video:

How about that, huh? A rather different league compared to my 20Mbit DSL connection. :)

Cheers, K.

Awsome :-).
I've noticed this type of modem being used in the movie "war games". This is without a doubt, The coolest modem ever.

That also was a acoustic coupling modem, true, but its baudrate was fortunately a bit higher. :)
