56k. Do you remember 8k? You could take a nap during a download.
Shucks, I even remember 300 baud <o))))><
8K? Hell, that's fast! I can remember 110 baud via an acoustic coupler. You could get a full night's sleep during a download :) But don't snore, 'cause the coupler might "hear" you and garble the download.
Later I was able to upgrade to a 300 baud acoustic coupler. Talk about flying!
