My first modem was a Novation J-Cat:

That reminds me - Novation made a 2400 baud modem that used a fancy LCD
display with an amber background to it. What was it called? I'd love to
add one to my collection...
I wrote a Unix-based (Xenix, actually) BBS in 1985, along with a friend
who owned a brand new Tandy 6000HD. Our lowest common denominator for screen
width was the Coco, at 32 columns. So, the first time you logged in, you
were stuck with 32 columns until you changed it. By that time, we were up to
1200 baud, with 4 lines.
Micro Magic had four lines? Must have been after Jason yelled at me and I
quit calling. :)
