(for real!)              Went onto AltaVista search engine & a couple BBSes just so they could       screencap "that idiot user who called in at 300," & brag about it in sysop       echoes!              The standard was 28.8K when I did that with 56.6K really making inroads. . .              I've gone online with QNX (experimental OS that Commodore apparently bought)              QNX was awesome -- I could boot, load my dfevices, & dial up & go on the net        all from a single floppy disk!
