This thread certainly brings back a lot of old memories...

My oldest memory of a 300 baud modem, was the one we used on the 
HP3000 Series II in the MIS department of a food service company I 
managed back in 1979-1981 which was installed for one of our 
programmers, who needed to "telecommute" because of a condition he battled.

I remember reading an article back then about this new "TCP" protocol 
coming down the line to replace ARPA net.  In 1985, I remember going 
to classes at my new employer (a major manufacturer of computing and 
measurement products) to learn all about the basics and how to 
implement those TCP/IP networks.

How time passes and technology advances.
