Using A 1964 Modem To Dial Up To The Internet

K.C. (aka Phreakmonkey) has a Livermore Data Systems Model A acoustic coupler modem, a 300 baud modem from 1964. It was given to him by the widow of a retired IBM engineer.

Instead of seeing it in a museum, he decided to hook the trusty Model A up and make it talk to something. The video shows the way we used to connect to the Internet in those 'good old days.'
