more chat stupidity
<kathryn> [telco] want to know about our dialup to [provider] and what protocol it uses. What modem protocol do you use on the kiosks?
<waider> er
<waider> WTF?
<waider> modem protocol?
<waider> the dially one
<kathryn> Ah yes, v.dially
<waider> v22
<waider> v22bis, possibly
<waider> but most likely v22
<kathryn> They really want to know about the acks and naks I think, but I'll give them this too for completeness.
<kathryn> They say the layer 2 protocol, as if anyone ever anywhere has actually implemented the ISO 7 layer model properly
<waider> layer 2 is chocolate spread, with some traces of hazelnut
<waider> layer 3 is cream
<waider> then there's some sponge cake
<kathryn> I'll tell them that
<waider> that may be intra-layer, though
