Yeah, my first was a 300baud modem.  Then, went to a 1200baud internal.  
Ran internal modems ever since.

In 1989/90, the machine had 2meg of ram, and was running Desqview with 
three windows - the BBS, a DOS window and JNOS, running TCP/IP over 
packet radio (ax.25) on a Baycom Modem (Ramsey kit), hosting a convers 
server.

In early 1992, a nearby lightning stroke took out the com port, the 
Baycom modem and disabled the 2m transceiver from transmitting.  :-\
