Paradroyd<p>This is what BBSing at 300 baud looks like. </p><p>In 1984, this was about as good as it got for me.</p><p>Tonight, I needed to hit a couple of Atari / ATASCII BBSs and all I had at hand was a C64. So..I used "AtariTerm", which does ATASCII, but tops out at 300 baud.</p><p>It's like riding a bike through a neighborhood you usually fly though at 40MPH.
