I must be in the really ancient fogey range. I remember 1200 baud modems. In the late ’80s a teacher at our high school in Wawa, Ontario got his hands on one. It was the size of an air fryer. Our computer club at the school hooked it up to a Commodore PET 2001 and tried to connect to Compuserve. Long waits listening to modem squeals but we never managed to get connected then. We were in Wawa which is on the north shore of Lake Superior so maybe the phone connection was not good enough. Here is the state of the art then, http://www.technofileonline.com/texts/2400modem88.html <http://www.technofileonline.com/texts/2400modem88.html>
I also remember my Apple GeoPort modem with my Mac Quadra 660AV I think. https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/GeoPort <https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/GeoPort> From the above article here are GeoPort speeds. GeoPort Telecom Adapter M1694LL/B - 14.4 kilobaud <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/baud> (kbps) GeoPort Telecom Adapter (II) M2117LL/A - 28.8 kilobaud <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/baud> (kbps) GeoPort Telecom Adapter II M5438LL/A - 33.6 kilobaud <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/baud> (kbps) Martin > On Dec 22, 2021, at 4:02 PM, Ralph DiMola via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > I just downloaded both the Mac and Win32 simultaneously via the download page > in about a minute.
