I was confused. I thought they were talking about the protocol you use to call a BBS from your modem: “AT DT 555-1234”

- bitwize 4y agoTell me you're old (at least Xer age) without telling me you're old.
- buildbot 4y agoI'm not that old and know of the AT command protocol, it is used a lot in modems for embedded systems
- monocasa 4y agoAFAIK it's still used cell modems to communicate between the baseband and the application processor.
- gojomo 4y agoOK, Generation X BBSers are now officially rechristened "Generation AT".
- bobdvb 4y agoI'll take that
- belval 4y agoIt's used in a lot of small embedded devices. I'm in my twenties (for reference) and I've used them a lot of ESP8266, SIM900A, SIM7000 programming. It's non-ironically a very good system that "just works" most of the time without having to deep dive the documentation.
