300 baud was possible in the early days, but typically they ran at 150 baud. Many ran at 110 baud because the signal to noise ratio on the telephone lines in those days was atrocious. Vadic had 'em cranked up to 1200 baud by the early 1970s, on clean lines.

Three hundred was the fancy new fast ones... initially it was generally 110 baud or 134.5 baud for the really expensive and fast IBM terminals. Two of them could keep a corner office warm in the winter.
