I remember buying my own phone line and ISP during the early 2000's just to play Phantasy Star Online on the Dreamcast with the job I had. Eventually I had to cancel the service once I lost my job, but it was awesome having my own dedicated internet and not having to fight anyone just to do anything online.
We sure have come a long way since then. I just bought a laptop with Windows 98 to run pretty much just one program. I will be introducing it to cable style internet. Is there anything I should be concerned about? I'm mostly worried about it picking up a nasty virus. Is there any thing you might recommend for updated protection for a system this old?
13:18 isn't that the 9/11 attack date?
Why is there dial-up in windows 10?
I want the astolfo fig
I called a some dial up number, and some women answered. (I'm From Serbia, where dial up no more exits)
I remember downloading custom rides for RCT back in the days or using Power Tools ASCII in AOL chatrooms. : )
Me hearing the piercing sounds of dial up through the phone still haunts me to this day.
Cute Astolfo fig 😊😊😊😊
Dialup was standard early 90s to early 2000s? I had a 300 baud modem in 1982, when 1200 was becoming standard. Upgraded to 14,400 over the next ten years, and it was for online services more than the internet per se for most of that time, but the difference is immaterial to most people.
Thank god i was not born in this era
This is hell
dial up in win10 because you can actually still do it
Too bad! ISDN is always the future!
I used to have my PC running all night just to download a 30mb file hoping to Christ that my parents wouldn't wake up early to use the phone and disconnect me. If only kids these days knew our struggle 😂
Going through all that much trouble to get super slow internet, that is dedication man. Hearing those sounds though brings back memories.
I'm confused as to why you needed to run a pair of wires under the crawl space. If the xfinity modem connects to a phone line then I assume it is an xDSL modem. It is a twisted pair not Coax at the NIC. You indicated the Xfinity modem was using Coax for POTS (coax used indoors only I assume)? Then you indicated that the phone lines to your room were already inside the NIC so you ran a line from the modem to there. Does that mean you didn't need the line in the crawl space after all ? I"m speculating that you have DSL + POTs coming into the house (left side of NIC) and that your Xfinity modem is also supplying VOIP over DSL. The VOIP phone lines out of the modem then tapped into the existing household phone wiring back in the NIC but those wires no longer connect to the left side of the NIC, where the real POTs is.
In a very remote inhabitable area in the middle of nowhere in the deepest Alaska there was a small but very thick door on the side of a mountain with a keypad beside it. It was all overgrown since many, many years back and the door was a little rusty and there had not been any one there for over a decade. Behind the door was a deep steel stairway and at the bottom another thick door and an empty simple desk. Behind that door was a long concrete hallway and at the end there was a totally black big room. All off sudden you saw a small red light went on and strange tones was heard. Harddrives and flickering green screens came to life and old incandescent lights started to come on one after the other and light yup the room and you could now hear a small hum in a room beside where 2 generators had come to life. On the screens there seen to have been exchanged som little information but then it all just suddenly stopped and the room became dark again. Still to this day no one know what really happened there that late night.
this is so neatttt, i hope this thing called the internet takes off, its gonna be so cool in the future, its 1998 atm, cant wait til 2024
The September 11th, 2001 link directs you to a page of contact information and links to various relief services following the terrorist attacks. The majority of these links are now defunct, and I'm not sure about the phone numbers either.
90 volts and probably really low amps does not hurt tbh its just a slight tingle I’ve been bitten by 240 off a 480 control panel it hurts slightly and thats arm to arm. Dc scares me more.
Bro I laughed so hard the longer this video went on. This is pure gold.
Great to see people keeping the old stuff alive by using it. Me and my buddies back then spent more time getting this stuff working on low-budget hardware than actually using it – getting Windows 95 running on a 386 CPU I remember was an entire Saturday's work, and then ran slower than the data the modem could supply to it, but we danced around that room when it finally worked and we had loaded up the internet on the piece of junk.
Man i was like 10 when we got dial up
My second job out of high school was tech support at a dial up isp. I ended up having a decent it career for 9 years, until i got to the point where i absolutely hate people. I got a cdl, i listen to pod cast all day and make almost 100k. Its better. 😂
Netscape
A 17 minute video where you went to google… maybe you could do a video where you actually use the internet next time
Brother is trying to get back into the matrix.
Please i need to know whats the first and last song you used, you didnt list it and Shazam didnt know
Phreak.
Reminds me of the days of using Napster / Limewire !
Who or what company installs a dialup connection? Idiots! Dialup has been removed for many decades! Only DSL these days!!! A telephone line and a DSL are different specs!!
12:22 bro was so excited, he turned into butt-head
whats with the little girl statue… weird bro
This is some nerd sht.
3:06 Where did you get the info that V90 had a 56kByte download speed?
me af: "wait, why is there a tsunami warning for my area? OH SH*T!!!!!!!"
Every time I click on video when they say before I like to just move on why can't yall get straight to the point
Damn 6 lines are in your house
Subbed. What's your favorite distro?
me back then, calls on the Dial Up internet on PC
Brrr-brrr-brrr

-'Hello, Central here, how can I help you?'
Me: -'Please connect me to the Yahoo page please.'
-'In a moment, sir.'
waiting music in my speakers
Yahoo pages opens in Internet Explorer
In the late 80's I had to dial into each individual BBS. I ran up a $600 phone bill as a kid. Oops
This experiment of yours was certainly interesting!
Which is why I’ve decided to subscribe to your channel, so that I don’t miss any of your future experiments.
P.S. The first video I ever watched on this channel was the $46 Windows XP PC.
How did you get all the equipment for this?
Very informative
man, i love dial up
September 11th 2001 um yea
bro i watched this on my phone… THEN ON WINDOWS 7
You can do dial up with a magic jack or raspberry pi pretty easily now days. It's how people do online play for ancient consoles. The Sega Saturn had a dial up modem, there is a modem for N64 on the 64DD I think and a few other odds and ends.
