You were late to 1200 baud.  I got one of the first Anderson/Jacobson 
accoustic boxes (before they invented the accoustic coupler).  First at 
300 baud, then 1200 baud on a DEC Writer II.  It was '83.  Then Bell 
head said I would never get 300 baud working on a non-conditioned line...

But again that is the point.  We have moved on from there.  We got the 
memories, so we know the edge cases.  Like dealing with X.75 gateways...
