Some information about the origin of CUTS here : https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/8099/whats-the-difference-between-kansas-city-tape-standard-and-cuts
I recall a Logabax computer (a french office / accounting system that seems to e completely forgotten) in about 1975 that had a built-in mechanism that used audio cassettes. The tapes, if played on an audio system, were a series of tones not unlike CUTS - I guess the idea of recording as audio something intended to be sent over the telephone system was fairly obvious.
