Somewhere in my basement is a Hayes external 300/1200 baud modem. I can remember being excited about finding BBSes that supported 1200...

Yep, as the modem speeds increased, the BBS lists would be updated with the baud rates supported. I think there are only a dozen or so dial-up bulletin boards remaining. I'm tempted to start one up, both out of nostalgia and as a response to the net neutrality crap.

Ah, but do you remember the nirvana of a new USR 2400/5600 modem? Man, I thought it was smokin'.
