Greg and Tarus,

Good to see your names!  It's been too long since we've talked.  I hope 
you're both doing well.

If the two of you are going to play jacks and queens when I have a king 
in my hand, I've got to put my cards on the table.  My first modem was 
300 baud and it plugged into the joystick port on my Atari 800.  When I 
later moved to 1200 baud, it was quite refreshing.

Does anybody have the ace?  Acoustic coupler with less than 300 baud 
wins the round.  Unless there's a trump card or a joker I've never heard of.

Kind regards,
Justis
