Heck 300 baud is pretty slow even for sending and replying to messages. When 
we used those modems, I don't recall any large file transfers, with 4K of 
memory, where would you put them? I was lucky and never used an acoustic 
modem, read all the articles tho but was happy to get what I'd call a real 
modem for my Model 1.

Do you really remember those days with no error correction? Ugh...

Those were the days, but I'm glad they are gone.
