@janeishly@beige.party 56k was seriously posh. Some us started with 300 baud acoustic couplers built into the back of just-about-portable terminals that printed onto thermal paper at 30 cps.
Which in turn were seriously posh compared to the 10 cps ASR33s we'd been used to up until then.

@TimWardCam@c.im @janeishly@beige.party Just so! One of the least prescient things I ever said was that I don’t need a faster modem because I only read at about 300 baud.
