Really, The Apple 2 c had a faulty UART that would not let a modem pass 300 bps. So when you brought you Apple to the store in 1983-84 and asked what was going on the Apple store told you they needed to see the modem you owned. Be it a Hayes or USR instead of an apple modem they told you it was the modem, not the machine. Then you had to buy an apple modem. They took your machine in the back, and replaced the uart, and then hooked up an Apple modem with everything magically working. So fortunately someone figured it out, and we all took our machines in and lied and said we had Apple Modems. So I say complete dicks and proprietary since day one.

Be free and open and breezy! Enjoy! Things won't get any better so get used to it.
