Indeed! I can remember replacing my old Zoltrix 2400 modem (with no error
correction) with an external 9600 baud model (some Hayes clone, cannot remember
the name). While still slow compared to the newer 14.4k/28.8k/56k modems, I can
remember marvelling at the speed increase, as well as the fact that I didn't
have to continue whacking backspace clearing visual artifacts created by CRC
errors. When hardware error correction was first implemented, it was a really
big deal at the time. :-)
