Most ppl on this forum are too young to remember those days.

I particularly remember getting my first 2400 baud modem that supported MNP5 and warez were coming in like missiles !!

Ah, the good ole days of BBS. Those days you actually had to put in an effort to get some stuff.

Ah yes, the BBSes. Was still living at my parents at the time and all I can remember is my parents screaming bloody murder every time they'd pick up the phone and all they could hear was a modem. Meanwhile I would scream as well because I'd have lost my precious download.

Haha, yeah... Same here... Then BBS'es started supporting ZModem, which had a resume feature... A lifesaver at 2400 baud lol.

But I eventually did get another line of my own. Then later when the internet came around I used the two lines at night in dialup MLPPP.

If you started at 2400 baud, you are too young. Real age is 300 baud or 1200 baud. You could read text as it scrolled by in real time. And the on-chip
buffer was an 8250.

8250 is way too advance. Started with IM6402 that needs external baud rate generator and external GPIO for modem handshake line here.

Oh I started at 300 baud too. It just exciting when cool technologies like
Compression came out!

LOL... Well first modem experiences were on 1200, but I was only 10 years old so I wasnt that into it... I think about 1991 i had my own computer and a 2400 baud GVC modem, thats when i got into it more. I also swapped the modem over to my Amiga which I also had at the time.

My first XT had a1200 baud modem in 1988. Then I went to a 2400 baud and eventually to a USR 14,400 Sportster and a 16550 UART Chip. I still have my USR 56K Courier I paid $25 for...

Keep it. I can still get a good solid connection no matter how crappy the line is.
