If you didn't use those, you're not old school. We had to configure our own TCP/IP stacks on Windows 3.0. autoexec.bat, config.sys, protman.??? et.al. That was a bitch.
vi should be added to that list

broud 2800 -> 14.4 -> 56K flex ( waste of time and money ) -> Cable... havent looked back :)
I don't think a 2800 baud modem ever existed mate.
the popular progression i remember is: 300b -> 1200b -> 2400b -> 14.4k -> 28.8k -> 33.6 -> 56k (rockwell flex or USR x2) -> 56k V.90
9600 goes in there too

[size=75][i]I once had a glass of milk.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.
