The problems I could The first problem I see with this is that the audio path is not DC coupled and thus you would have big problems with data that was all marking. Now if you MFM encoded the data you might get by, but I doubt it. This is why people invented modems for phone lines (audio channels -- right ?). -brian CASE Communications Inc.
