What sort of BBS were you accessing in the early '70s?
Mike Loewen mloewen at cpumagic.scol.pa.us
Old Technology http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/
From there it went to 1200; 2400; 9600; 28.8K and
56Kilobaud. All on
dialup! Now at 5 Mbits/sec. here in Ontario. An American friend
has
250Mb/s download. Yikes! The classic computer era taught us patience
didn?t it? BTW, one had to have a private phone line not a party line
for a modem to work. Making our hobby more expensive!
