| baud.c |
baud.c is a program to simulate going through a modem. It reads stdin, and prints it to stdout at the provided baud rate (bits per second).
If you'd like to see what life was like when I got my first modem, try
cat file | ./baud.c 110 40
Run that for a few hours, then try
cat file | ./baud.c 1200 20
And you will understand how mind-blowingly fast 1200 baud modems were at the time.
This is the second or third time I've written this code. I'm putting it on my web site so I don't have to write it again.
