Well, I ordered a USR 56K Fax modem about two years ago and have not
used it yet. Maybe we can cook up something cool with them ...

I guess I also need a new Raspi, because mine broke long time ago, when
I used him for mining e-Mark.

Flat-rates are a good argument to explore what can be done with modems
nowadays. The initial goal was to use my little GPD MicroPC with the
Faxmodem, when traveling, but I figured out also that a Surf-Stick for
(encrypted) SMS (sending/receiving) is pretty cool, with
modem-manager-gui, under Linux.
