Actually, I started out with a 300 baud acoustic modem.  You know, the kind where you take the handset and jam it into 
two cups?  But I digress…

Bah!  That was a take-home convenience.  How about the old ASR TeleType
with the 110-baud link to get a hardcopy listing?

Ah, distinctly I remember. The ASR shook the whole house when it started typing things out. I was using a government tie line from Ottawa to Toronto, and occasionally the operator would break in to investigate the long call with funny noises.
