When I got my first teletype, it had a 110 baud dataset in the pedestal.
I didn't know how to test it, so I called CompuServe (back when they were
strictly an ASCII service); I got a login prompt. I have not tried
any connections that slow in over 10 years, and I seriously doubt there's
anything out there listing at 110 baud anymore.

Won't just about every modem talk to slower ones?
I only started with modeming at 2400 bps, and that was just because my USR
Courier dual standard (V32" /and/ HST! =) was uncooperative.

If they still follow the older Bell 103 and 212A standards,
which most, if not all, of the newer modems I've used still do. If
the older equipment you're trying to connect to predates those, or
just doesn't follow them, then that's a whole different story.

I started out with an old Racal-Vadic modem that had been
used on a serial terminal to dial into a mainframe. It was 1200bps
so was fairly speedy still when I got it.
