If memory serves me correct, I think  the acoustical coupler modems were 
limited to 300 baud?

I also remember the old Model 33 teletypes were either 110 baud or 300 baud and 
sometimes only 110 baud.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't going for speed using an acoustical coupler modem.   
Great video!   Brings back great memories.

This was a U.K. model, presumably. Did those get released w/ internal modems? I 
thought Tandy pulled the modem from the UK model cuz of BT certs.
