- gpm 6y agoThe number of people with the hardware and know how to send data over a telephone line is probably very small.
- tanatocenose 6y agoSlightly ironic since this was once the only way. Brb investing in a modem.
- kube-system 6y agoNot with Google Fi, at least. Cellular networks are optimized for human voice and the compression will typically break the protocols originally designed to transfer data over landlines.
- tenebrisalietum 6y agoI wonder if cellular predictive encoding or whatever would break absolutely all of these modulation schemes. https://kb.iu.edu/d/aand https://kb.iu.edu/d/aand Bell 201A, for example. Loading modern webpages over 2400bps would be hell but IRC might still work. Or maybe time to break out the old UUCP.
