That brings back a few memories for me also :)

I started at 1200 baud also and 2400 was amazing when I got on to those speeds, but once we hit 14.4 and the others it was far nicer. I enjoyed the different sounds of the modem handshakes as the speeds changed.

BASIC for me was on a ZX81 and then a BBC Micro model B

ANSI ART I suck at but really appreciate the work folks that play in this space can do... which reminds me I need to hatch a bunch of art packs out to FSX_ARTS soon... I'm way behind.

Best, Paul
