Rolling Out the Internet in the 90s [Best Of]
(media.piefed.social)
@elrainia@lemmy.world describes working on internet infrastructure back in the 1990s. This was on one of those "drive by" AskLemmys where a new user posts a juicy question, then after a couple hours they delete the topic and their account. However, those posts and comments are still visible in Piefed, ex: https://piefed.social/post/1733969#comment_9969293
I didn't see any 19.2k modems until 92-93 and I was obsessed with finding one, so that's either very impressive or another case of one of us remembering poorly as alluded to in the post. :)
Yeah, checking just now, 19k seems highly unlikely for that date. I think it was probably 9600 bps, instead. Memory sure does get garbled, easily...
