My first modem was 300 baud, manual dial. So I had to use my landline to dial, then flip a switch on the modem to co to computer mode. Soon, I realized I really needed a second phone line. AT&T owned everything on the system, and customer only rented the phones in the house. I was supposed to tell AT&T I was using a modem, so they could charge me the business rate. I kept forgetting to tell them.
