There are still active BBSs that use telnet or ssh, the experience is the same as the old modem days just without the beautiful dial tones and without latency.
How many here are too young to have even heard a modem sound? I work with young software developers who can’t even fathom not having a laptop and Internet connection while getting their degree. I just missed punch cards but got to do CS 1 with 11” floppies!
My friend blew my motherfucking mind when he told me you could remove the speaker for the modem. I never realized that noise didn't come from your normal desktop speakers but from a tiny one in the case. After doing a search it turns out you could have just disabled it through the windows settings lmao. Man we were so smart but soooo dumb.
