Heh, I've hopped onto dialup several times in the last 24 hours. Some of the numbers I used had the short handshake, but others have the whole darned thing Except today I'm using TOAST.net's dialer (they have access to all the major dialup networks, including the excellent AT&T WorldNet one) with my mom's laptop's softmodem. Golly dang that thing can dial quickly

Never had a Compuserve account, and I started messing with AOL in the 9.0 Blo...er...Optimized era. However the family Juno e-mail account still works, est. 1995. Ah, the days where we'd dial long-distance (local phone co-op had, and still has, a ridiculously small calling area) to grab our e-mail, most of which was advertisements.

We used to refer to it as the Mating Call of the Lovesick Modem. I loved that YouTube Cartoon.
