I had a 2400 baud modem.
The boards were a hoot.
We did not have high speed internet available for quite awhile. I used modem doubling software for awhile and had two 56-Kbps modems hooked up in parallel. We were too far from a telephone switching station to get 56-kbps performance so we got maximum connection speed of 33.6-Kbps x 2. This tied up both of our phone lines but the software we used could detect incoming calls on one of the modems and allow the calls to come through on call waiting without disconnecting from the internet on the other line.
Because websites didn’t use a tenth of the bandwidth that they do these days it really was not bad.
I purchased a directv duo satellite data dish and modem. But after spending several hundred dollars I could not get it to work. Years later I discovered it was because I was the AMD processor in my computer was not compatible with the system but customer support was not aware of this at the time.
A 2400!?!
On dial up!
You were one of the pioneers.
I was on Compuserve back in the 80’s until AOHELL bought it and started changing it.
Jumped to a local provider who offer internet access only. None of the chat pits or logoffs that AOHELL was infamous for.
The internet sure has changed.
