Well, maybe you have something I need; a 150 baud acoustic coupled
modem for my Altair 8800.  Mine died last week.  I tried using a 300
baud modem, but the Altair couldn't keep up with both the teletype and
the modem.  I also need a new 8" floppy drive, since one went out last
month.  Maybe I should just consider upgrading.  I hear that some of
the newer computers have 5.25" floppy drives and use TV screens to
display information.  I guess it would save a lot of paper.
