Oh yes we did! In fact I had a speedy 1200B modem, no joke it was state of the art and I was delighted with it, in the early 1990s.
But when I went into the Compuserve chat rooms I always signed on using the lower priced 300B lines since it was already slowed by our typing speed.
(BTW 56k modems, those slow dial up lines than nobody uses any more are 56,000B modems!)
