- quesera 8mo agoMine was 300 baud, probably 1982? And I felt privileged because the configuration for my TI-99/4A Terminal Emulator (which I believe was called Terminal Emulator) had options for 110 or 300 baud, and I felt lucky to be able to use the "fast" one. :) My first modem (you always remember your first) had no carrier detection (and no Hayes commands, and no speaker...), so I would dial the number manually, then flip a switch when I heard the remote end pick up and send carrier to get the synchronization started. It was incredibly exciting at the time.
