The USSR kept on using valves for their aircraft equipment --- resistant to EMP.:D A valve modem would be more useful than the new Aopen motherboard with a dual triode in its onboard sound unit (which uses a Sovtek 6922). |

| 89049 | 2002-10-15 08:29:00 | Yep Lightning works underground too. We had Telecom looking at our phone lines for lightening strikes a few years ago. Some sort of electronic toy that measures the distance down the line to where the damage is. Otherwise its very hard to spot, apparently the wires get fried into particles inside the insulation and, if they are arranged properly, will pass the messages OK But if a heavy truck goes by it can upset everything Bingo! bitrate zero or definatley substandard. | Rod ger (316) | ||
