I remember my first modem. It was a hand-me-down 300 baud, and 2400 just came out (but couldn't afford one back then). Of course, ascii art was already in back then, but I've never seen animations like that until much later on the internet. Oh yeah, if I knew it was possible back then... and on a 2400 baud, I would've flipped my gourd.

Oh, lordy, yes - was the 300 baud an acoustically coupled modem (ie, actually stick the handset into rubber couplers) or did you get one of the fancy-schmancy ones that would plug into the phone?
