Did the 28 TTY have a paper tape reader/punch like 33?
I didn't miss the 300 baud era. I remember
my first modem was a
"direct connect" 300bps model sold by radio shack. It had an "answer or
300 baud? Luxury! We *dreamed* of having 300 baud. We used Model 33
Teletypes at 110 baud, and we were darned lucky to have those. One
guy I knew only had a Model 28 Teletype at 45.5 baud. On the other
hand, the Model 28 was *much* more reliable than a 33.
And we had to walk to school. Uphill. Both ways.
