I miss the dailup days as well. was nice to have a real modem connection some 
magic to it that has certainly been lost. Maybe the way the screen drew maybe 
the infrequent line noise or even just the speaker on the modem each system
having its one unique sound.

What made me mad about it was Pacific Bell. One of
the coolest boards was long distance I didn't even attempt to find out the
dollar amount as that would have been the end of the modeming for me. the only
way I even knew about it was reading about it in the nets.  Is very nice to
be able to telnet any system at any time.

.... OK-give me ONE good reason why I can't have it both ways.
