I think it was 300 baud. I couldn't afford it, so followed the schematics to figure out how to connect a military surplus acoustic coupler modem at 110 baud. I didn't know any better, so I thought it was fantastic. Still, a few months later I got a good job and upgraded to an Apple//c clone and a 1200 baud modem.
I remember when I went from 2400 to 14.4 and I felt like the world was my oyster.
