    modem that plugged in the parallel port.

    Since that’s so wildly unlikely, do you remember what the model was?

      No way I remember that, tried google image and couldn’t find it but found a lot of similar products.

      I’ve run into a few of these at work in recent years actually. This is a 56k modem but given 14.4k is even slower, it is very likely.

        Couldn’t open that, but web searches say rs232. Serial, not parallel, just like essentially all external modems.

          I fixed the link. I hate that my phone browser defaults to the stupid Google analytic links. Need to find out if there’s a setting to turn it off.

          And you’re likely correct. Any modem I used growing up were internal cards. As another commentator mentioned I likely confused the port type given it’s size.

          People may be confusing the connector type, the horrendous 25 pin DB thing, with the protocol.
