	I think using a 56kbps modem would kill me now! Mind you, after so many years of 10mbps cable, I think even normal 512kbps ADSL would make me cry... Still, I remember during my uni days when I had a 56k unlimited dailup connection via my university and most people thought that was a godly speed. Oh dear... now i'm REALLY showing my age!

	Hey, I remember when the 56K was the best thing out there. My first modem was the one they had before the 14.4. Uh, not showing my age am I?

	ya. yeah he would put the phone on this modem cradle thing and then key in a phone number to to computer and if everything matched up right and the computer you called was on, and you had set up the proper baud rate...you could try to "talk" with it. I remember our printer was set up to recieve data at 110bit baud rate from the pc. back when 128K was a-lot of memory.
