That Museum was interesting. When I was in college, we moved up from keypunches and carry the deck to the computing center to 33ASR teletypes and we thought we were in heaven. That changed our world from batch to on-line. We even had computer access from a satellite facility about 30 miles away. That was near the time that HP introduced the first scientific calculators. To geeky engineering students, life was good. Now I have to live with only a 256k ASDL line at home. BTW, I think the theoretical max for ASDL technology is about 6 or 7 megabits. What you get is almost exclusively determined by a software entry at your CO. It is a bit ironic but the best cable plant for DSL is old-fashioned, heavy gage, solid copper lines. A lot of the new technologies exclude DSL.
