14.4kbps? Sheesh. V.32bis, I assume? Though my HST/DS did 14.4kbps on the HST
side and V.32 (9600bps) on the other, so it could be something else. How fast
were the Telebit modems used in UUCPland?
The first modem I used was a 110 baud (10 CPS) accoustic modem attached to a
TTY/33. Or ASR33. Don't know the exact teletype model. Had a papertape punch,
though, that we saved BASIC and Fortran programs on in high school.

That's lightning fast!
iirc the first modem I used was 300baud - across a leased line.
One of our programmers wanted to test out something, so she looked up the id of
the last partition in the list on our system, and set a backup running. She came
to me a bit later and said "it seems very slow". My reaction was
"I'm not surprised, let's go and look at the tape drive". Quite an
eye-opener - it was going "clonk" every five seconds or so as it wrote
a block, instead of ploughing on as normal - who here remembers hand-threading
the old nine-tracks :-)
Anyways, I told her she'd decided to back up the machine in our remote office
over this 300baud link - no wonder it was slow!
Cheers,
