It was great to leave the speaker turned on when the 'Blazer connected.

Yeah, but can you whistle the handshaking tones for not just 110 and
300, but for the 1200 baud connections?


The 110 baud and 300 baud 'carrier' is the same tone. 'Bell 103' standard.
at 1200 baud, it depends on which 'standard' was being used: 'Bell 202',
'Bell 212', or 'Vadic 3400', just for starters.

I could whistle a Bell 103, or a Bell 212 carrier,

Heck, I knew a guy who could _modulate_ his Bell 103 'whistling'. Well enough
that he could transmit messages that way.
