I'll pitch in here with a 300 bps acoustic coupler claim, back when bps == baud [0]. Bought the coupler and a Volker Craig VT100 terminal (complete with still-attached security chain) for $50 CAN from an Admin at my university who had no doubt pinched it from his employer. This allowed me to dial in and work on programming assignments at the last hour, when the labs were full but open dial-up ports always available. Don't know when I got rid of the coupler - I felt like a high-tech dude dialing the number, listening for the carrier and then placing the receiver in the cups.
