I started with a 2400 Baud modem in my 286. In addition to it's great
CGA graphics, I loved that I could use the modem to get onto BBS's and
play some door games. It was what really sent me down the direction of
technology.

I remember when Telix came out, with its integrated zmodem support for
large file downloads I was in heaven. It wasn't long after that I was
running my own BBS, well long enough that 14.4k modems were on the
market, and becoming the norm.

Made it to the internet not much later, a small hole in a dialin
gopher server at a local University, then a telnet to
unix.galacticomm.com (I think!) where I could FTP, and IRC, ahhhhhh
the days!
