I had the VicModem, but don’t recall how fast it was. It was often take. From me as a form of punishment. I’d say it was in the locked drawer more often than connected to the computer.

I think it was 300 baud. I couldn't afford it, so followed the schematics to figure out how to connect a military surplus acoustic coupler modem at 110 baud. I didn't know any better, so I thought it was fantastic. Still, a few months later I got a good job and upgraded to an Apple//c clone and a 1200 baud modem.
