OT: just a suggestion

Ah, the ol' Write-Only Memory! ;-)

So then it's impossible to tell what a transmission media is because you don't know what information is being transmitted over it?

I'll add the 300 gallon fish tank, the Electronic organ, all TV's and all computers and all Sat units as well as the modem and two routers. I put shoe boxes on a number of items that can take it - some are protected and some are battery backed up.

OK, there is a DSP running the ADC. The second phrase is exactly the discussion here.

Agreed WRT v.90. Since DSL is *very* similar, I'd say so too but we're definitely in the minority.

Well, QAM can be more than four state. Forty years ago, we used

9600bps, 1200baud QAM modems (and Motorola called them "modems"), over dedicated copper phone lines. That's a three-bit (eight state) symbol.

MPEG isn't a transmission protocol, rather a compression algorithm.

It may be inside your house but it's using "TV channels" on the pole.

Or the "RatShack MC10?" I've still got my OS9/A-Dos equippef 6809 CoCo2 with dual DSDD floppies, composite video output, and built-in eprom programmer and parallel port (all custom) And my modified MC10 (set up to run off 12 volt DC instead of AC - including conversion for true RS232) which we were setting up as a rallye computer"back in the day" The HP progranmmable calculator we used was already much faster and better than the Kurta "peppermill" - the MC10 would have been even better but we couldn't get an accepable display at the time, and then I got married and quit rallying.

and the "one way backup" problem in Windows 2-3 period.

It is a DIGITAL compression algorithm. Impossible to implement in a strictly analog world. Docsis is also digital by definition.

ALL TV in Canada is now also digital - whether OTA or cable. Hook up an analog TV set to any Canadian cable system and just TRY to find a station you can view. They don't exist - You neet an ATSC tuner or a digital conversion box.

Try to get a station on an antenna with an NTSC tuner - you won't get any - they don't exist anymore. ALL digital (atsc) - so just because it uses a "tv channel" definitely does not preclude it being digital.

Even then I thought the R&R service was archaic. A few years later we switched to ADP and it was like we switched to the current century. Then we built a new facility and had ADP in house. I loved that system.

The R&R mentioned above terminal was. TI. When we opened that dealership I had to temporarily use the handset coupler, the regular modem had not yet arrived. IIRC one or the other accomplished 300.

That's one of those machines I'd like to play with for a bit, just to see what it's all about. Don't know why, perhaps it's the name.

The direct wire was likely 300. I think my first "surplus" AC modem was something like 80 baud? Mabee it was 110 - it was an old Ti, I think. Went to a wired 300 very quickly.

[Trenbidia]

I've actually got one of those I picked up at a garage sale a couple of years ago for $1. I'm not sure it'll hook up to todays TVs so I haven't got around to trying it yet.

That varies by region. In this region, AT&T U-Verse is delivered over POTS wiring.

I assume Doug was referring to VOIP.

[Leon]

I think my son is in a neighborhood like that, he can get Uverse but would be limited to "6" Mbps.
