From what I have been told, there is a machine that makes a pass of the numbers with 3 CDS cells per digit, one on each side and one in the center. The pattern produced is used by a big machine with relays to determine what the number is, and what bin it should be placed in. Kind of like an old Burroughs card sorter with limited OCR.

I'm looking to use modular phone plugs as serial port connectors on a project
I'm working on. I'm going to need both male and female 4- and 6-conductor
connectors (RJ-12 etc?), as well as male-to-DB25 connectors. I've used MOD-TAP
connector before and found them to be very convenient.
Can someone please help me contact MOD-TAP or a MOD-TAP distributor for a
catalog? Recommendations of (cheaper) competition are very welcome also!

We decided to use RJ-11 connectors since we needed to patch 50 lines and wanted to keep size/cost down. So far, there have been no problems. We are very satisfied with the performance. The panel really *is* easy to use. The patch "cables" used in this panel consist of RJ-ll connectors crimped on to standard 4-conductor flat lead telephone cable. Our entire setup has a very neat and compact appearance. If we'd decided to use conventional DB-25 (or even DB-15 or DB-9) connectors and cables in the patch panel, we would have ended up with a much larger and more cumbersome arrangement. In our "controlled" environment, we have never had a problem with anyone mixing the panel and anything related to the telephone network. But I wouldn't wager money that we wouldn't have a problem with the average user getting the two mixed up! Joe Average User just isn't allowed near the panel!

I agree with the dangers of confusing the lines, but there is a
solution. At the last place that I worked, they wanted to have a
telephone and RS-232 connection at each engineer's desk and other
locations, with over 500 such pairs of connections. The solution was
to have an RJ-11 4-wire connector for the telephone lines, and to have
a modular connector that was 6-wire, and therefore wider, for the
RS-232 connection. These were mounted in a two-jack plate at each
station, and both the telephone and serial lines were wired on the
same patch panel. I don't know if these 6-wire jacks and plugs are
standard items, but they certainly had enough there. The support
people kept a drawer full of 3-foot cables with the modular connectors
on one end and male and female DB-25 connectors on the others. (Also
some DB-9s for the IBM AT serial cards.) It worked very well.

(The article describing it was posted in Mod.mag.fidonet). Basically the proposal involved the use of receiver/transmitters operating at some specific frequency. Incoming signals would be decoded, and if not destined for the node, the packet would be retransmitted ... hopefully reaching neighbours who didn't get the original transmission. Although he didn't mention protocals that much, presumably retransmitted packets would contain a hop count so that packets being shuttled back and forth between two neighbours would eventually be thrown out. Hmmm, transmission interference sounds like a big problem... (token passing in a radio packet network???) Anyways... Has anyone heard what the fate of this petition was? Has anyone heard of any other proposals that would use radio as the medium for a public packet network? Thanks for any info. -- --- Phil Trubey pgtrubey@watlion

I have heard of none that notify the user that correction has taken place. Some manufacturers actively discourage users from using error correction protocols above their modems! None, of course, detail the manner in which they provide this service. From experience and reading in networking, this is a disaster waiting to happen. Simply: no error correction scheme is perfect. If an uncorrectable error occurs, the modem has only two alternatives: break the connection, or silently pass on bad data. Alternative (1) is used by the well-known ISO protocol X.25. Alternative (2) is used by error correcting modems. A naive user who 'knows' his file is perfect, since his modem corrects errors and therefore doesn't check his data will be rudely surprised some day when the local telco surpasses itself in line awfulness. Anyone who doubts how much trouble a supposedly error-free link can get a system into should study the ARPAnet (now internet) archives, especially every time a new link protocol was introduced. The ISO networking layers all have the problem of 'you can't know' if any errors happen in lower layers. Some sort of education of the world would help manufacturers and users, but where do we start?

From experience and reading in networking, this is a disaster waiting to >happen. From my experience with error correcting modems, notification of error correction would be pointless. First, at high speeds (4800 baud and up) over normal phone lines, there is error correction taking place very frequently (more often then every 1000 characters). Thus the notification would be so frequent as to be routinely ignored, and therefore pointless, totally leaving out the fact that such notification would necessarily make the modem non- transparent, which would greatly reduce it usefullness. Besides, notification that error correction has take place has nothing to do with passing along incorrect data. Incorrect data comes from so many errors ocurring in the same block that the error correcting scheme gets fooled into thinking some erroneous data was correct because "it checks." True, some good data may be trashed as well, but it is also possible that the mistakes will fall so that no error correction takes place at all. Certainly, the fact the error correction took place is not at all a good indicator that bad data was passed, and in many error correction schemes, it is not possible to know when an uncorrectable error has occurred (although there are some that can catch a high percentage of such errors, none can guard against all possible error sequences). It may be adviseable to use a low-power error correction scheme or error detection scheme with ECC modems, but I'm not sure. We have been routinely transmitting around 750K of binaries a day at 4800 baud (with error correction and data compression) via Motorola S-records, which provide very good error detection. We have been doing this 5 days a week for over two months, and have NEVER detected an uncorrected tranmission error, even though we frequently have error correction taking place in every block (512 characters). If an error correcting scheme can promise me no more than one uncorrected error every six months of use, I'll be happy. Nothing is perfect, and it is dangerous to make things almost perfect, because it leads to humans putting too much faith in such systems (It has to be right, the computer says so.). -Jeremy Grodberg Usenet: ...rochester!kodak!grodberg Arpa: grodberg@kodak or kodak!grodberg@rochester
