    You never experienced the joy of a 1200? You could literally watch the cursor draw the screen.

      First modem I had was a box with a dial with the options 300/300 orig, 1200/75 orig, 75/1200 ans, 300/300 ans.

      It wasn’t acoustically coupled, but it also didn’t dial. I had to pick up the normal phone, dial the BBS, flick the switch to open the line on the modem and put the phone down.
