|  Nostalgia: "A Cheap 9600 baud modem"
I was browsing the web looking for nostalgic things and I came across this post from a VERY old forum. http://www.sunmanagers.org/archives/1991/0523.html
Its hard to believe that 9.6Kbps modems sold at that price. You can get a cable modem for way cheaper than that these days. Heck, thats like the price of a mid-range graphics card lol.

They didn't even have real websites in 91! Just text on the screen, right? I was 3 and we didn't have a PC so I don't know...
I have a 2400 internal and a 1200 baud external modem in boxes in my basement. I MUST try and connect with these now!

The internal one (2400) connects with MCA only. I need a paralell port cable or something for the other one.
