You think that is bad - when I got out of school I worked for TRT in the telex world. Yes 50 baud. They were excited when TWX was introduced at 110 baud...

I remember being in the control room of Sun Petroleum - Dallas Texas with their VP of operations talking back and forward with one of their exploration crews somewhere deep in Africa - no phones - the only thing the could communicate with was a telex, realtime back and forward 50 baud.

Ah the information age (and I'm only 42...)
