what a weekend! my internet modem went on the fritz on saturday afternoon - from one second to the other. a short, i guess… so, i had no internet access anymore. can you imagine how strange this feeling was? ;)
well, later the day i will try to get new hardware to get my internet access back. hopefully it will work again soon.
have a good start into the week!
I took this just to have an image for today's blog post. dennissylvesterhurd.blogspot.com/2023/09/were-switching-t...
Back from my holiday and whilst everyone was recovering from the night flight home I thought I'd process some photos I've taken whilst away. This is a sunrise I got from the view from our apartment, in the resort of Cala Millor, Mallorca, Spain.
Unfortunately I couldn't comment on many of my contact's photos whilst away as the WiFi and Internet were slower than modem dialup speed, and everyone knows how bandwidth hungry Flickr is, so trying to comment was next to impossible. I'll try to catch up a bit today.
I had to use this null modem connector often in my early business life.
So this one is truly a heavy one with the full set of 25 pins connected and wired.
The weight is around 100 grams.

We had a new modem delivered, and the old one was in the box, on the coffee table, waiting to be returned to BT.
Max decided to investigate, knocked it off, wriggled under the box and played under it until he tipped it over - then he lost interest! LOL
To be more accurate the device is a G.hn to Ethernet Managed Demarcation Point.

I am having major internet problems, need a new modem, hope that will take care of it. I will comment when I can. I loose connection about every 5-10 min, so it is very frustrating!
Its hard getting it right. hit and miss affair. It ws exciting. So much so, that I forgot to disconnect my laptop during the storm. And now I am using a backup modem to connect. Hmm was it worth it?

The last two Computer History Museum photos I'll post; today's topic is "Communications" This acoustic modem used the telephone handset to send and receive sounds that represented one and zero bits. As you can probably guess, they were quite slow, but they still allowed data to be transmitted over long distances.

This weeks theme made me dig out some of my older hardware.
Remember modems? The early helpers to get you online. Here you see a portion of a hardware modem, with Lucent’s Venus chip. Sometimes they were also referred to as real modems. This modem has a chip that handled the communication when you dialed in. Its light weight cousins, the Win- or Soft Modems, did not, here the chip was emulated via software.
If all you ever used was a Windows machine, you probably cared less or didn’t even know there is a difference. I however used Linux (now I have a Mac). The vast majority of Win modems did not work under Linux. So I had to bite the bullet and buy this much more expensive modem. The cost was 3-4 times higher than a soft-modem. This all happened at a time where you could not just buy anything you needed on the internet, so finding these could take some time.
This now almost ancient piece of hardware did its duty for many years (there is still visible dust) and should I ever feel the urge or have the need to use a dialup connection, it probably still works.
