Hi guys,
I have 4 or 5 33Kb Maestro dial-up modems curently destined for the next hard
rubbish collection. I think at least one was upgraded to 56Kb.
Can anyone suggest a better home / charity / recycling outfit for these?
Cheers ... Duncan.

Bring them to the next LUV meeting, I expec that someone will want some.
Also I'll take one for the LUV hardware library.

Hi Duncan,
Internal or external modems?
With or without manuals?
I might like two of them, actually.

p.s. Anyone got any old =acoustic= modems out there?
p.p.s. Anyone ever set up RADIO modems, and used them on a ham or CB rig?
p.p.p.s. Anyone ever set up a Wok-Fi? (Using a parallel dish (e.g. a
wok) to extend the range of an external WiFi adapter.)

I haven't seen one of those for nearly 20 years!
p.p.s. Anyone ever set up RADIO modems, and used them

Yeah, heaps of times, and heaps of modes - packet radio, slow data
modes, email over radio (WINMOR), and even digital voice. :) Oh, and
Linux has soundcard based modems for packet radio, though the kernel
modules are not always compiled in off the shelf distros. An aside,
using such a setup on CB is illegal under the current class
licence. Ham radio as long as you have a Standard or Advanced
licence, have fun! :) Not a lot of packet radio in use these days,
except for APRS. The other data modes can be interesting and useful.

Think you mean parabolic dish - I've done it with commercially
available antennas and ex Galaxy TV gridpacks.

Oops, yep, meant parabolic. Too early in the morning for me.
Will contact you (Tony) off-list in a few days, for some of those things.

I've used software modems on amateur radio to transmit slowish data - namely psk31.
would be happy to help you with this sort of thing if you're interested

that's a really poor idea. woks are generally made of steel and have way too large an
impedance to work with RF. plus they're not actually electrically parabolic. a foil or
mesh corner reflector made to the proper dimensions will perform this role much better.
or, just buy an actual high gain and/or directional antenna :)

Ask around, I'm sure there's still a heap of old Galaxy gridpacks
gathering dust somewhere, which are easily converted to WiFi use. I
have a couple that I've used from time to time. :)

Now you mention it, I do have one internal - prolly only 28Kb. ISA bus -
any use?
With or without manuals?
As it came - 1 double-sided A4 page directing you to the web site for the full
manual (I don't think it's there any more - had a look).
Cheers ... Duncan.

I will be bringing my collection of modems with me tonight. Look for me around
the {hardware,} library during the break. There are 4 external modems with 3
power supplies. I also have a single internal modem (ISA).
If I have to take any home they will go in hard rubbish,
Cheers ... Duncan.
