..sounds like a match to the early cold war airplane model reed radio
control user interface.....the pilots needed a good sense of rythm, and
usually had a wee bit more control authority, than say, that captured
mouse that allowed aboard a plane at my old modelling club field in
the late 70'ies, after terrorizing the poor rodent with some _inspired_
mean spirited aerobatics, it _had_ it coming, hiding in that chocolate
box, appearantly however, it somehow managed to hijack the plane 
and use it to leave the scene.......but I digress.  ;-)

..300 baud as a whistler user interface, was it useable as such?
