     @miscbrains @Jdogg247 Ha, you can port-scan, you can war-walk.
     
     I had a 56k winmodem, totally hopeless. It was all ethernet after that, totally hopeless.

     @miscbrains @Jdogg247 Oh, it's a great movie. The intro is great, too. Possibly the only better key-turn was in The Leftovers.

     @p@fsebugoutzone.org @Jdogg247@fsebugoutzone.org i started my modem shenanigans in the 2400/9600 baud era, so the 200? baud with acoustic coupling just seemed high tech, lol. Poor zoomers will never grok war-dialing and getting a hit on a university unix. :sadge:

     @p@fsebugoutzone.org @Jdogg247@fsebugoutzone.org It's nostalgia bait, but it still holds up as movie for me. Re-watched it earlier this year.

     I did BBS, I did Fido, early Web, including DOS browsers, such as Arachne, I even had the rare opportunity to use UUCP, (ex-) Soviet countries had this Relcom thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relcom
     So when I was reading about it in the books later, it didn't feel like something that only exists in the books, which I think is great.

     I had the opportunity to use a 2400 baud modem. A friend gave it to me when my faster Sportster got fried, soon after I got myself a Sportster patched to Courier, that thing was amazing!
     Later I was also given the iconic 56k external Courier, but my friend took it back, I've never really owned one.
     And then ADLS was starting to become common: easily reflashable D-Link thingies, that was actually fun too!
