No, Minidisk is compressed to ~128Kbit/s (perhaps 192?) using a very mp3
like perceptual codec. (btw- the minidisk cart is about 100megs)
As for tape vs phone: the telephone doesn't exibit the 'dopplar shift'
like distorton of tape. I imagine that modem type modulation wont work
well on tape at all.. PSK or QAM might be more okay.
