My two slowest connects were my first portable terminal (TI executive thermal paper terminal) at 300 baud, and my school connection to the mainframe which was 45.45 (baudot, not ASCII). If you ran baudot as a teletype connection (direct terminal to terminal) you could have fun sending shift-unshift over and over, as it would actually shift the platen on the receiving machine and unshift it, like an old style typewriter, but it would do it over and over again... you could almost make the receiving end dance)...
I won't even mention punch cards or paper tape, okay?
