Modem support?

[berto]

[echoing a post at the Matrix Forum:]

For the Campaign Series, many players do asynchronous PBEM (obviously).

However, does anybody use any of these real-time Multi-Player modes?

• Internet
  
• Modem
  
• Serial (Null Modem)
  

We have no intention to yank Internet mode.

But especially modem play:

• Does anybody still play the Campaign Series this way?
  
• Does anybody even have a functioning modem? In actual use?
  

Note: The question is not whether you have a telephone modem and use it to connect to the Internet. The question is rather: Do you hook up with another person to play the Campaign Series using a real-time, synchronous (telephone) modem connection?

Another (rhetorical) question:

• If the CS devs don't even have modems (I haven't owned or used a modem since the last century), how can we support and maintain this mode of game play?
  

Just looking to remove some possible outmoded cruft here.
