I don't know the model, but my first modem was 2400 baud

Downloading anything took forever but it was still a magical experience to me!

I couldn't figure out how to silence the modem sounds either (if it was even possible) so every time I wanted to use the computer when someone in the house was sleeping I had to pray the connection sounds wouldn't wake anyone up!
