Then 900 on AOL 2.0 (PC Geos/DOS and Win versions)
I seem to remember something about higher rates if you used a 14,400bps MoDem.
God this brings back some hardware memories. Hmmm. jumper settings. IRQs, Base addresses. floppy controller cards with extra buffers, upgrading UARTs to 16450 then 16550 OMG that was a bunch of wasted money at Fry's. You'll never beleive this but ISA PC cards used to have full size resistors on them. Really it's true.
Back to the SRIC chat discussion long since derailed.

hell yea. You were king if you had a 486Dx2
My dad had one and I had a 386. Even added a math co-processer. haha
Running dos 5.0 and 3.0 for workgroups. hahaha

Good times.
I remember when I used to start my comp and it would could the KB's of memory. And at school my nerd friends would talk about having less than half a gig, on their comp, and I would say "What? I have like 15,000 gigs." They were like no way, you're lying. They don't even make comps that big. I had no idea what they were talking about.

Sometimes I'd turn it off. I was afraid I was overworking my bytes.

Duh, that's why you need a turbo timer
