My game plan was to set both machines up and have them talking to each other. I know that I have one ST5 modem somewhere and perhaps when I get more time and space to set it all up, I might be able to record the ascii characters in audio into an mp3 file. The challenge would be to convert it into say 8bit or greater computer code, although I think that there was once some software that could do it on the early computers that ran basic in the DOS environment.
