    @@tangerinetech5300 Yeah you do need a ‘modem’ of sorts for the others (now called an NTU), but it’s usually hidden away during installation so as to make it seem invisible. No need to confuzzle the poor users :) Note: Fibre to the Node is the only one you still need to buy an actual VDSL modem, while the others are provided after the install (except Fixed wireless and FTTP) Coax uses a cable-modem and the Fibre to the curb uses a special short range VDSL modem. Yey Australia and its variety of internet technologies.

    No one who wasn’t there can know the excitement of connecting to an email hub and then being able to have a conversation with some unknown person somewhere on the Internet. Pretty much a nightmare today, but back then it just suddenly opened doors to a world of possibilities. Furthermore, in those first five years or so of this being available, we all used it so very differently from the flamers & extremists online today. We formed an online chat group then used to meet weekly at a pub. Was so fun. It all soured around 1991 when the trolls started up, but before that, it was so innocent and enjoyable. Plus, today, so chronically naive.

    I first witnessed Prestel being demonstrated in 1982 at Glasgow University in the then-Maths dept. How it even operated on a 16K ZX Spectrum that had been expanded to 48K still beats me. The software to run it was written by a close friend, who is sadly no longer with us, who went on to have a long successful career in computing. I too went on to have a career in computing which caused me to travel the four corners of the world, I'm now retired and am back in Bonnie Scotland, and done travelling thank goodness.😁

    The software running on the computer at home is just a simple client, it is doing little more than taking the bytes of data received from the modem and displaying characters on the screen. The processing power to do this is minimal. I know, I have actually written software back in the 1980's to do this. Even a ZX80 had enough enough processing power and memory to do it.

    Those were the times when people appreciated such simple things as sending emails or keeping household records in one place. They were simply able to enjoy life. Now, for an unknown reason, we are looking down at them asking "how could they use such primitive ways to connect to the network"? Without that technology we wouldn't have today's technology.

    This killed me because I did the same thing as a kid on my *Commodore 64,* ddialing into various systems... since I was in Manhattan there were no shortage of networks to dial, photocopied ads were plastered everywhere with the numbers on little tags to rip off...

    My first BBS computer was a Northstar 8080 (CP/M), with a 1200 baud modem. I later went to a 286 computer. I had the Candy Store BBS for many years. Last time, a 486 DX-66, 4 gigs HD, 2- diskless workstations, running Wildcat software with 8 phone lines, connected to the Novel server. Expensive hobby back then!!

Then dial the # on the rotary phone, and wait for dial tone, then you hang up. All you gotta do next is put in the personal password and find the right entry on the micronet.
