@neglesaks@mstdn.io It was!
But actually I didn't get what I was aiming for: I've bought the external one, but there was the internal version which could be upgraded with custom firmware that allowed rates up to 21600. I did get my hands on one, but it took time, this model was in high demand. Only external 57600 USR Courier could top that, but it was way out of my league.In a few years affordable ADSL appeared and I moved on to that. And again everyone had been using custom fw that allowed higher rates😂
