For #modemmonday let me show you a few Gandalf LDS 120 modems. These short-haul modems were originally designed to connect remote terminals to computers up to a few miles away over four-conductor wire. This was popular in office and university campuses back when computers were gigantic and kept in their own rooms. Essentially you can use two of these and some wire as a really long serial cable!
Gandalf operated from 1971 until 1997.
