Still have my old 300-baud acoustic coupler stored in a closet

Used to carry one of those things around the country with me. I was
amazed that virtually every place I stopped there was a local AOL
dial-up number available...

by the time aol was a thing, 300 baud modems were long obsolete.

When I said I carried one of those things around the country, I meant
the acoustic coupler. And they were very much in use during the early
AOL days when many hotel phones were hard wired with no RJ11 sockets
available.
