Net Zero? Is COP26 talking of the dialup?
-
2021-11-04 at 2:30 PM UTCNet-Zero this and Net-Zero that.
Are they talking about something not related to that company?
Does net Zero even still exist (the server) ? -

2021-11-06 at 7:20 PM UTCBack in the early '90s, people could get free Internet from these guys, because they didn't charge anything for the access, but they put a so-called "invincible" ad banner across the top of the screen, which some people would use a PID sub-thread killer to make the banner invisible, or encapsulate it and minimize it. They would keep coming out with a new "invincible" banner, but it would only take a day or so for someone to figure out a way to kill it and show every0ne else how to do it. You could get years of free Internet from these idiots.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

I think I remember that now. And as a dialup it was glitchy af
And the banner was so annoying. That may of been the first time I got on the internet which took 5 minutes to pick ad. Then AOL gateways with their browser.. a little faster but I think most internet sites were loaded on their server first -

because the money from ur emissions credit goes to feed the whales or some shit in africa that you've probably never heard of and who knows what it actually does for the environment.
So "Pay for Ecological Crime" is what it is. Like taking our HOV lanes from us and giving it to wealthy folks who can hog a lane by themselves because 8 bucks each way is pocket lint to them while it's a family pizza to the rest of Americans"The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2021-11-06 at 11:25 PM UTCNetZero had a competitor, Juno. Juno offered free ad-based dialup access.

2021-11-07 at 12:03 AM UTCIn the '70s, we could still connect to one another's computers through a modem directly using dialup. This was before the Net came out.

Modems have been around since the '50s for direct communication through the phone line. Bell Canada had the first dialup modem access. Before that, they were called multiplexers, and have been used since the first world war. I actually started out in the early '60s on crystal radios I built myself. -

Modems for any platform you ever owned were not available until 1979. -

The 201A Data-Phone (1970) was a synchronous modem using two-bit-per-symbol phase-shift keying (PSK) encoding, achieving 2,000 bit/s half-duplex over normal phone lines. In this system the two tones for any one side of the connection are sent at similar frequencies as in the 300 bit/s systems, but slightly out of phase.
In early 1973, Vadic introduced the VA3400 which performed full-duplex at 1,200 bit/s over a normal phone line.
In November 1976, AT&T introduced the 212A modem, similar in design, but using the lower frequency set for transmission. It was not compatible with the VA3400, but it would operate with 103A modem at 300 bit/s.
In 1977, Vadic responded with the VA3467 triple modem, an answer-only modem sold to computer center operators that supported Vadic's 1,200-bit/s mode, AT&T's 212A mode, and 103A operation.
