I get that! When I graduated from college in '95 I had to give up my "9600 baud serial connection" in favor of modems. Of course by then the 14.4 modems were pretty common, so it wasn't a terrible loss, but my roommate and I did get a dual channel ISDN line into our apartment, which I had for a while before getting one-way cable internet in late 1997 (still needed a dialup for upstream)... that was great becuase the downstream speed was really really fast. Then, I moved to North Carolina in 1998, where I had to go back to the 56k modem for a good 2 years until the cable company finally started offering high speed internet in my neighorhood.
