I got excited about 14.4k bps.

Back in about 1994, I was working for crapita in support and we'd dial into some customer sites at 9.6k - but that was customers who were councils, so latest kit wasn't really expected.

Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

Luxury!

I installed the Paris Stock exchange over 9.6k! I was hoping they would send me there (I do love Paris)
