[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3479375, member: 44288"] I worked with 1200 baud modems over dialup phone lines to take a download from Seattle to Tinker for Boeing for their access control panel. It took over 8 hours. I had to sit there and listen to the static and bleeps and blurps. Oh, and when someone accidently picked up the phone and punched my line after 6 hours in I was fit to be tied. Even after warning all of them not to touch that line. I fixed em. I took of the connector wires to their PBX 66 block so they couldn't touch it again. After the third attempt at download went through, I punched it back down. From then on it was protocol to unhook the phones during a download. [/QUOTE]
