Some of us remember back in the days when the maximum speed you could get out of something like 6 miles of bare copper wire from the phone company was 19.2kbps. That's the same sort of connection one now gets several megabits of ADSL on. That WAS the same timeframe when people were just starting to figure out ways of getting more than 1200bps out of dialup; only about $1000 each for the fancy modems. Now I feel old.
