Hehe, yup, gotta agree there. While many classic computers interest me, a
slow old modem is just a slow old waste of my time.

What is the difference? The old computers we like seem to have some
"personality" as do many of their peripherials. But to me modems are only
as good as their price tag and speed. (and despite my 32 year tag, I've
spent many an hour on 300bps acoustics)
