I had a 300 Baud and my dad would tell me how fast their 1200 Baud was at work. hahahaha Them were the days. Social media started back in 1986. I got into computer comms around 1985 after buying a Prism VTX5000 modem at a computer show. I used it to access Prestel and Micronet 800 - commercial viewdata services - plus the odd viewdata and scrolling bulletin boards that would support the 1200bps down and 75bps up connection (V23). A few years later, I spent about £200 (!) on an Amstrad V22bis (2400/2400) modem, joining Cix and CompuServe. Via the former, I could telnet to White Sands Missile Base and explore their public library of space images. Though the resourceful did operate BBS using Spectrum computers, it wasn't until the early 1990s, and after buying my first IBM-compatible PC, that I opened my own linking it to Fidonet and other networks. hxtr and YACCster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
