Volksmodem

I found this vintage Volksmodem while searching for some papers in the "Bugbook Historical Microcomputer Museum" warehouse. It is new and never been out of the box until now.  It is a good example of an early low priced modem.

To interconnect the Volksmodem you need appropriate cable, computer, telephone, appropriate software and in some cases a serial communications port or card.

 The instructions and manual are so simple. This should be easy to use.

That's me David at age 5 1943

WOW  Here I am with my mother Ruth and dad William in 1943. I was 5 years old .  Five years later I had a crystal radio and that started my life long interest in electronics. I received my amateur radio call license( W7VZW now KK4WW ) in 1954 at age 15. I have said may times my folks were old time farm people. They did have a car here but early in their marriage they used a horse and buggy. I have great pictures of their early days -- really interesting.
