I noticed a brand new Realistic 200 baud modem.

200 baud? Are you sure you don't mean 300 baud or 1200 baud? Even 150 baud was a standard for acoustic modems, but 200 just doesn't fit.

It probably was 300 as my memory is not that good anymore. It did seem like it said 200 but like I said.

I think he meant a “Realistic 2400” modem and you are correct on the math.

300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 - 54000 baud modems.

LOL!

first one I heard was given to me by a customer General Electric in 1984.

It was a 300 baud suitcase modem and they used it to connect to something they called a BBS.

The fellow who gave it me showed me how to use it.

I took it back to our office and we played with it for a week before putting on a history shelf.

I found out what all those dorks with Commodore s and TI’s where wasting so much time with.

Amazingly, porn is still the number one time waster.
