[GreenKeys] Bell 103 demodulator?

Well those tones about sound right for Bell 103, as I see from 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_103_modem

"The answering station used a mark tone of 2,225 Hz and a space tone of
2,025 Hz."

So is 266.6 baud the right number? Might be worth looking in something like
spectrum lab but I can't get a decent waterfall display and I am not really
used to the tool.

Dave.

I fiddled around with it a little but no luck. The tones appear to be 220 Hz

apart, not 850, if the file's WAV header is correct and it's sampled at
16khz.            
The tones seem to be 2228 and 2008 Hz, with the higher one as mark.

Even so, I couldn't get minimodem or fldigi to decode it to anything human

readable either as ascii or baudot with any of the permutations of options I

could think of... :(
