← Back to context Comment by raverbashing 12 days ago Yeah slow?Try using a 2400baud modem, that was slow 5 comments raverbashing Reply bluGill 12 days ago I started on 300baud - but never accessed the internet from that so I won't count it in this discussion. vardump 11 days ago Those things always confuse me. I think 2400 baud modems were like 9600 bps? At least 56k modems were 8000 baud. raverbashing 11 days ago no, the other way2400 were 300 bytes per second(though it might be that 9600bps worked at the 'official definition' of 2400 baud but nobody advertised it like that) vardump 11 days ago You seem to be confusing baud and bits per second. Baud is symbols per second. Usually one symbol represents multiple bits. AFAIK in 56k modems one symbol corresponds up to 7 bits. 1 reply →

no, the other way
