(Caution: Monty Python Reference) 28.8? I used to dream about 28.8, I had 14.4, and before that 2400baud.

Do you remember the dreaded 'floppy disk is probably unreadable' sound during installation of any software on floppy?

2400 baud. I wish. I had to manually dial my rotary phone and then place the handset into my 300 baud CAT acoustic coupler modem.

To be fair by the time I 1st used Slackware that 300 baud modem had long been replaced and I at the time I had bonded ISDN channels for 128kbs connection paid for by my employer. Soon replaced by a T1 to my home also paid for by my employer.

Noice!

Did you employer give you a spec-'d out computer/workstation too? I don't even know how you hook up ISDN equipment, but I know an SGI Indy had it built in.. ~1993.

We were a DEC partner , so I had a DEC 3000 AXP which was eventually replaced by a 500 series AlphaStation.

I just heard it again as I read your comment, and it sent shivers down my spine.
