For dial-up? I doubt it. Around that time, (for consumers) the best
available was 2400+MNP5 (9600bps with compression). Telebit had some
proprietary (called PEP or something I believe) scheme that went up to
14.4k bps or perhaps 19.2 (raw), but I don't know if it was available
in 87. Microcom (?) had stuff too but AFAIR theirs was not that fast.
Or could it be that I am getting senile?
