Since there is some interest in what a working R391 looks and sounds
like, here is a link to my web page. It includes videos for both a
functioning R-391 and ART-13. The original version was without sound as
I put it on my web page when most everyone was still using 1200 or
2400baud modems. I've put the original versions with sound out there now
that high speed internet connections seem to be the norm.
