It wasn't internet, but I remember when you had to dial and stick the receiver in the cups of the modem, 300 baud at best.
Yamaha parts ordering system, circa 1979.

I still have my 300 baud modem in the attic somewhere. Have cable now & will never go back.

Now you are talking, I remember 300 baud and my Apple IIe. It is one reason I waited until the early 90's before making the leap to IBM compatible. I am still dialup inspite of broadband availability. Cost, and when all you are doing is reading, what does a few seconds of download time matter? I can save that much just driving to work.
