What does the 311+3 h4x0r use?
 

Are you a 311+3 h4x0r? What do you use to run your server?

I use gerbil power

Can anyone name the major technological innovations behind each of the listed protocols? Any geeks in the house?

OKey.. can anyone name the significance of each protocol? The baud rate/history? Does anyone know the brand names that make those modems?

Does anyone remember how much the fucken things cost? Holy shit! I'm wondering where the fuck I got the money when I was a kid..

Every single one of these technologies suck by todays standards.

HST was introduced in 1986 by US Robotics and was the de facto standard for BBS's before V.32 modems, theoriginal Courier HST modem ran at 9600 bps, and then was later improved to 14400 bps.

PEP was introduced in 1985 and was the de facto standard for Unix and Usenet communities. PEP performed well with noisy phone lines and ran 14400 bps.

v.32 is the CCITT standard for 9600 and 4800 bps modems, and is today the standard for communication at those speeds.


V.fast is a newer CCITT standard that supported 28800 bps communications


If I was forced ot use any one of these technologies for an extended period of time as my only means of access to the internet, I would kill myself.

Do I win a prize?

You really should, shouldn't you... Give me your address, and I"ll mail you a cookie.
