I miss the ritual of connecting to the internet back in the days of dialup. Today we're just always online which is neat, but not as special, y'know?

I was just remembering the late dialup days of crossing your fingers and hoping you'll get a good connection, the full 56k v.92 handshake that gave you the best upload speeds for playing games online.

I used to be able to sing the handshake for 9600 baud well enough to fool modems into attempting a connection.
