Byte Magazine was fun on all levels. It always had technical articles that either involved electronics, or source code, and was DIY in just about every way. Pretty excellent. From this article, I (possibly re-)learned that originating and receiving modems use different frequencies, but I guess that should be obvious from being full duplex. Also I didn't know that most of the handshake is ignored. I'm assuming that means in 300 baud or less, since the handshake also negotiates data speeds. Shocking is the $30/kbyte RAM chips advertised in between, yet the wire stripper/wrapper/unwrapper on page 33 is pretty much the price you would expect it if on sale today.
