But 2 Jan 1996 was a Tuesday and
http://archive.debian.org/dists/Debian-1.3.1/main/source/net/modemu_0.0.1-1.dsc
seems to be signed with 2048 bit RSA key E9B2C0BD, created: 1997-01-01.
That would explain why modemu at sunsite (now ibiblio) says 13JAN96
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/apps/serialcomm/dialout/modemu-0.0.1.lsm
Was that date fluffed? Too much New Year Cheer?
Even as 1997, I think it is still the earliest timestamp.
Best wishes,
