Oh boy, it's the "which of one of us can remember the oldest thing" contest. 


Do you remember when you had to hunt smilodon with a flint spearhead? 
Boy those were the days eh?



I remember running Fortran programs on Tymshare from a teletype over 
dialup, with the phone handset sitting in the modem.  You’d wait for 
hours, wondering if it was still working, tempted to pick up the 
handset and listen if there was still modem tone.
I also remember using a Silent 700 terminal, the latest model with a 
1200 baud modem, and thinking it was great stuff.
I had an ISDN-BRI line at home for awhile, with Internet from PSINet 
(now part of Cogent).

I remember 300 baud modems that were 4 wire E&M connections.

Dude I remember my 300 baud modem that cost an arm and leg and had to 
wait because it was special order only and then



when I got I had to register it with the local phone company before I 
was allowed to attach it to THEIR phone line. Thirty plus



years ago and lead to a rather lucrative career at the phone company. 
Aw the good old days. Late nights cruising  the BBS’s



and thousand dollar a month long distance phone bills. Back when 
rates where time of day and distance based. None of this


flat rate calling. Anyone besides me remember Compuserve?

Dude I remember how excited I was when I got home from school and 
heard this as I dialed out to BBS.. I had my new fancy Practical 
Peripherals 14.4 external so you could set it next to your PS/2 and 
watch the lights.. so much fun!  (:
