Sudo,

Lol, I would hate to be one of his customers! With analogue modems, what's the most a user could possibly get? Probally around 3600 Kbps... Talk about "Mom and Pop" ISP!

Hey, maybe I'll install a few modems in my home PC, and charge people to dial in and share my cable modem!

Great idea, do you really think you could pull it off...lol
( It might pay the cable bill )

zepherin,


I remember my old BBS crawling days, playing LORD getting my tradewars on and when there were like 10 people logged on playing a wicked fast 14.4 game of doom. Ahh there's some nestalgia for me.

Do you remember the "Not-Yet-Named BBS" or "The Technical Realm BBS" or maybe "Northstar BBS"...."The Game Land of Devistation" I actually bought a lifetime subscription to NYNBBS and the game LOD. I built the Tech Realm BBS with a couple 286s with 4mb ram and two 40mb hard drives ( could not even phathom the tought of a whole Gigabyte ) in Missouri, USA, and the Northstar BBS was built by my partner in Fremont California, USA. We had a FIDO mail setup (like todays e-mail) between our systems that would call one another and transfer the mail on a schedule. We paid the long distance bill by offering subscriptions to our mail system. Cool huh? You might say that we are a couple of the original pioneers who wove the first few strands of the internet.

Sheesh! I had forgotten all that stuff....writing batch files, creating little basic proggies to parse file folders....excuse me....directories.

60 if x=6 then goto 100
70 if x=7 then goto 90
80 else if x<2 then end
90 print, "This is my computer";goto 100
100 end

eee-gadz I am sinking into the past, my hair is getting longer , (and darker), wow black light posters and strobelights.....sinking....oh no! my computer is a Radio Shack Color Computer, I belong to a club called the coco-nuts.....arrgghh!!

hehehehe
