Yes, that’s right, 1200 baud.
I used an HP 1200bps external modem. To connect to BBSes. When I was in elementary school. I remember tearing through the latest Focke’s BBS list. It was the definitive guide to DC-metro BBSes. I’d print it out on my Okidata dot-matrix printer on fan-folded continuous feed paper with the holes on the sides. Then I’d grab a pen or pencil, mark up some interesting BBSes, fire up Procomm and try to connect.
