    I didn’t see any 19.2k modems until 92-93 and I was obsessed with finding one, so that’s either very impressive or another case of one of us remembering poorly as alluded to in the post. :)

      Yeah, checking just now, 19k seems highly unlikely for that date. I think it was probably 9600 bps, instead. Memory sure does get garbled, easily…
