This is getting OT, but I started off with a 360 baud acoustic
coupler! I don't know the cost, it was in research at the time, so it
was provided. The later "modems" where such an innovative invention.

@Dave: Yes I was on Cserve too. I even wrote to them saying that I
would market them in Thailand, but they politely declined, saying that
they were focussed on Europe and the US. Well.
