I'm a child of the early eighties. I cannot recall a time that there was not a functioning 1200 baud (or faster) modem in our house.

  I got my first modem (without direct Internet access, only BIX and a Vax at college) in 1992.

  Must have been nice. In '82 I got a third-party 600 baud (nonstandard, can't recall the brand) modem which was better than 300 and Atari hadn't come out with a 1200 yet.
