I started with a 1200 I borrowed from a friend. Then I got a 2400 baud from another friend.
Purchased a shitty 9600 that when I was running a BBS I had to write my on connection routines as the ones that came with Hermes II didn't cover it properly.
The big day came when I finally upgraded to a hayes 14.4 modem. From there I always got hayes. Upgraded a bunch more and eventually had multiple phones lines for my BBS.
Ran bulletin boards WWIV, Renegade, and Hermes II. Fun stuff. Guy I went to school with was Lord Jazz from ACiD so all my lovely ansi menu systems were done by him. lol
Was so stoked back then with shell accounts, fido net... too funny.
0 day ftw!
