Just how slow is your dialup, and just how fast is your typing?

I was able to type faster than my dialup when I first got online.
But then I upgraded from 110 bps to 300 bps, and that was no longer
the case, at least not when using a terminal with N-key-rollover,
which I think everything newer than the venerable old ASR-33 has.

Even without N-key-rollover, my next upgrade, to 1200 bps, took me
to speeds faster than *anyone* can type, even in short bursts.  As
far as I know, the slowest dialups today are 9600 bps, and 56,000
bps is far more common.
