Great share. I was there.
FidoNet, ANSI art, getting phone numbers on newsprint mags at local computer stores, the modem screeches, AT commands, phrack and cult of the dead cow…friends you’d meet at malls and then go to summer concerts with…online was an adjunct to life, not a closed garden overwrite of life itself.
Hah. I came in just at the tail of that - needing to add AT commands to get the 56k handshake to complete. Had no idea what any of them did, but they worked and made me feel like hackerman.
