Hi,
I communicate from a far distant era when many businesses had a chattering telex machine somewhere, eating rolls of punch-tape, and spewing forth rolls of paper.
The big mighty item duly sent and received text items world-wide at a rate of about 300 characters per MINUTE,
Wow !
I found my big books of business cards dating up to about 1990, for companies in mainly India, the Mid-East, and parts of Africa. Someone said that it could well be that these offices still have an active telex service.
Yup, I could telephone them and ask, but to no avail, as I not suprisingly no longer have a chundering machine at this end of things.
I ponder, for all you comms. wizards, even if I were to locate a distant working telex machine, what sort of coding / format might be understood by it.
How do I slow transmission down to an intelligible level of transfer.
I assume we are talking ASCII coding ?
Any advice ?
