I was so excited when I got the 1200 because I could no longer easily read faster than the BBS output. I always wished I had a Hayes though, because back then the red LEDs were so damn cool. 🙂 😎
I always envied the Compuserve folks - the most “online” I got during my C64 days was QuantumLink (which would go on to become AOL) - Compuserve was real internet to me for a long time, but I was never a customer. More or less the same as I felt about Prodigy.
Hah, no one alive back then is going to miss spotting that. I knew it would say Hayes before I clicked. 😁

I remember getting my 9600 baud modem. Compuserve was smoking with one of those!
