My experience started with a 300 baud acoustic coupling Radio Shack modem!

i didn't know they still offered dial up service. My first modem was 2400 baud. I got one of the first cable modems in San Diego back in 1996.

Started with a borrowed modem from my BIL in the 90's...mono chrome and 20 meg HD...I remember typing in "hey anybody out there" and some one answered "yes, we are here"...that was it for the first experience...think that I talked to Al Gore ??

I seem to remember having a 1400 modem, not 14.4k, but fourteen hundred. 28.8 felt like lightning.

LOL, I remember that crap...America Online, straight up garbage. Used to kick us off after all of 45 minutes of being on, and that was on a GOOD day...

That's fantastic! I will loop that and add that to my halloween porch music.

Or

I will wait and see if Bruce Campbell shows up at my house for a night of evil dead.

I remember the acoustics, I also still routinely see 14.4 used in the field as a point to point data acquisition of gas quality and security..

Started on 9600 myself. Used that 14.4 for a long time though. At least I had linux running on that 75MHZ machine!
