Oh yes US Robotics modems were some of the first consumer modems to get data throughput above 9600 bits per second.
They also created a weird but very interesting computer designed by some guy named Jeff Hawkins.

Very fun to program, a couple of extensions to turn the Notepad into a Wiki (we would call it a Zettlekasten now, I suppose). The initial API was very much like Macintosh C programming.
