Re: 300 Baud MODEMs. I still have my Sendata 700 Series 300/300, 1200/75 Accoustic Coupler that I used for ages to get into AUSOM's BBS back in the day.
Re: Hotline. Adam Hinkley was an AUSOM member back in the day when he developed the server and client, he got stiffed by the company that all but stole it from him. Under the new developers the thing got turned into a pile of sh*t. I still use 1.2.3…

Exactly what I was referring to in the other Hotline thread. The community didn't take too kindly to what happened to Hinkley and stopped buying the product. The company wasn't around very long after that. A lesson to be learned for those companies that are lawsuit happy: Sometimes you win the lawsuit but lose the company OR Blowback can be a bitch.
