>You speed demon, you. :) I started at 300bps. Not acoustic, though. Not quite that old...

Imagine that 300 bps then is equal to a 56Kbps today
Imagine that 1200/2400 bps then is equal to DSL/Cable today

Think about where we'll be in another 10 years.

Fiber Optic connections with average rates measured in Mbps or Gbps.

Past: 1.6 Mhz - 8 Mhz
Now: 600 Mhz - 800 Mhz
Near Future: 1 - 1.5 Ghz
10 Years: ???
