100 baud acoustically coupled phone modem... Then moved up to a 300 baud when I got into junior year of high school. Then I got really fancy and moved to a 2400 baud modem while I was in the Navy.

@nikatjef interesting! I wasn’t aware of many sub-300 baud modems in consumer use. I thought those were primarily in expensive commercial and military applications.

They were definitely expensive, but I had a distant relative who got the modem for his Imsai 8080, which he gave to me in 1980
