First modem I had was a box with a dial with the options 300/300 orig, 1200/75 orig, 75/1200 ans, 300/300 ans.
It wasn’t acoustically coupled, but it also didn’t dial. I had to pick up the normal phone, dial the BBS, flick the switch to open the line on the modem and put the phone down.
I had a 28.8 that was really good. When the 56k came out, I got one but was disappointed in its performance compared to the old 28.8. When the 56k v92 came out it was much better. Sadly at that point I was getting DSL so that 56k v92 was a POS and I was a LPB and never looked back

You never experienced the joy of a 1200? You could literally watch the cursor draw the screen.
