Wow...a flashback to the 80s! That US Robotics modem was my pride an joy (same one they have pictured, but came out in the early 90s). My first modem was a 300bps, and 2nd was 2400. This was a huge step up, and was painful waiting for BBS's to upgrade their 9600's to get that sweet speed. IIRC, it took about 7 minutes to download a 1.44MB floppy.

From what I remember of the 56kpbs days it def took longer than 7 minutes to d/l 1.44mb
