I started with Binkley on an Atari STe (no HDD everything was loaded on RAM drive from a floppy) and a 2400bps w/o MNP Hyundai modem.
After almost a year of mocking from the other Fido members I strayed and purchased a 386DX/40 with 200Mb HDD. Needless to say that the HDD was faster the the RAM drive. I used FD Multiline paid version (smuggled some Deutsch Marks in envelope to someone in Austria if I recall correctly).
Now I think we all owe Nick a case of Belgian beers...:)
