Brings back memories. Used to have an acoustic modem with the phone handset
jammed into the thing. Took ages at 300baud to download even 100k and if I
sneezed or made any noise it wrecked the connection!! Memories!! J :-)

They were called Bulletin Board Systems (BBS's). Typically you'd dial
directly
into one, connect at 300 baud, search the online files for something
interesting, and then download it. This was before the Internet and WWW.
