Had a 300 baud modem hooked up to our Commodore 64 to dial up local BBS servers. Had one of these bad boys, too:



And a third-party fan which sat on top of it to keep it from literally melting down.

that pic doesn't do it justice, those things were like 18" front to back and weighed 15 pounds

did you have a disk-nothcher so you could use both sides of the disk? good times

my first modem. 28kbps us robotics external. i fondly remember waiting like 5 minutes for a poorly photoshopped picture of cindy crawford sitting on a huge dong.

When I upgraded from internal 2400 to 14.4k I wanted an external usr sportster so bad, an extra box! with blinky lights! I had to settle for an internal sportster though, the external costed way more.



What did you all use for terminal emulator/bbses? I started with procomm then telemate, then I tried to like communique, then along came terminate, it owned, 8k zmodem nigga. (all these were the dos versions, i did try procomm for win31 at one point but it sucked even worse than the dos ver)

Also I've seen several people mention downloading nudie-lady gifs and watching them dl line by line, did any of the terminal emulators do that natively? I can't remember, I do remember at one point I had a tsr that would detect incoming gif data and would display it line by line as it dl'ed.

Anyone else ever be on the phone with a friend and be all like "ok you type ata, I'll type atd and we hang up the phones"? warezing 90s style.
