Amen to that!  I, too, used to dream of an ASR-33.  I was in hog heaven
when I managed to land a KSR-43 and an old Racal 300bps modem!  Dot matrix
at 30cps, and all I had to do was try to find 12" roll paper.  Spent hours
on Compuserve at $3 an hour, along with a bunch of local BBS systems.  It
was an exciting time.
