What was your first modem? Mine was a 300 baud VICMODEM for my Commodore VIC-20 which included a type in terminal program in the user guide.
You had to manually dial the number with the phone, unplug the coil cable from the handset when you heard the carrier, and plug it into the modem!
@paulrickards I wasn’t allowed to get a modem. I did borrow a 1200 baud one from work the summer of 92. I guess that was my first.
@ef1j Aww bummer! At least you got a chance to go ️ online

@paulrickards Oh… Usenet, ftp, gopher, etc. had me plenty busy in 91 at school! No modem tho’… we had token ring in our dorm.
@ef1j Ahhh the good stuff!
