In 1989, I managed to persuade UIC to let me borrow a terminal and 1200bd(!) modem so I could connect to their IBM system from home. I remember how inconvenient it was to lug that terminal home by public transit. I ordered a dedicated phone line for it and it was a shame that I had 749-7491 as a number that nobody would ever call (and that I gave up when I returned to California in August).
