Ah, the good old days. I remember dialing up local BBSes with QMODEM.

Ha, same! On a TRS-80 Color, nonetheless. But I think I used four times, because no one else in the country had a BBS at the time (small city in Latin America).
It took a couple of years until it would catch on, and by then 1200 and 2400 bps were already the norm - thankfully!
My first modem (from 1987) was 300 baud, but it could be used in a split mode called 75/1200.
Before that I used 50 baud systems in the military as well as civil telex systems.
