I bet this MODEM is older than several of our forum posters.

It's probably older than all of us.

My father had one when I was a kid. Though we never used it. The slowest modem I remember using was a Zoom 300 baud modem in my Apple ][+. Though the coupler modems were not much slower at 150 baud.

Those were innovative days... as a new generation IT geek, I kinda wish I was around back then. Leaps and bounds, leaps and bounds.

I think the first modem I had was 2400 baud.

Opinion = fact. Anecdote = proof. Political label more important than either of those.
