Re: A fine wunch - 56k modem?
It may be not that long since you owned a 56k modem.
Then again it is almost 20 years since I had 128k to my home office using two bonded 64k ISDN links.
Major computer centres with very expensive 56k T1 leased lines would be perhaps a couple of decades earlier, minimum? Banks spend money. They have a lot of it (mainly ours).
