I also remember ASR-33's at 110 baud with an acoustic coupler.

Acoustic coupler? You surely had too much money...?

I didn't own them, mind you. They belonged to the school district, and we
used them to call the computer half a county away.

Our school had a DecWriter hooked up with an acoustic coupler to the
DEC10 at UWA.

The connection was so slow, and the account so restricted I didn't
bother with the school "computer club" and used my own account on the
same machine on the Teleray 2000s in one of the terminal rooms.

Mum found them an excellent electronic babysitter once I'd discovered
Trek and Adventure.

(Or else I'd go to Dad's lab and play Asteroids on the Tektronix
screen attached to the PDP11. I was lousy at it though.)
