What was the first modem you ever had? How fast was it?

C64 VICModem. 300 baud, manual dial. :)
That was my first one as well.
My first PC modem was the US Robotics Sportster 14400 FAX Modem. A cool feature was that you could flip a couple of bits and it would do 19200. USR reportedly grumbled about that breaking the warranty and using it against its design limits, but it worked great.
