El emulador de terminal perfecto para realizar un #speedtest en este momento.
Si la cosa empeora un poco más, desempolvo el #USRobotics 56k y me contrato un dial-up 😅

The "bag o' RAM" is not the only thing I brought home. An old #usrobotics 14.4 fax/modem was found, plus another no-name modem. I'm contemplating the idea of emptying one of the two and build a ZiModem custom board for it.
I guess the us robotics one would be the most widespread candidate.
Oh... And I also found my uthernet II card for Apple2. Searched months for it.
It's still being sold, right? Because I'd really like to rebuild the schematics for it.
EDIT: Just for future reference, no need to rebuild anything. You can find the schematic for the Uthernet II in the card's manual
Bringing 'em home. 🫡
From Internet Old Farts Club on FB: "Pat Chicas - Bringing Internet to the Island of Molokai. Prolly 1995. This was our Hawaii Online pop in the back of a record store in Kaunakakai. 256kb frame relay to our main POP and ASN in Honolulu. 6 USR modems in 2 different rotary hunt groups on an old AE SxS switch. There were a few dozen people waiting outside and in the store for me to complete my work and give them the OK to log on. Very good, fulfilling and proud times."
I remain eternally grateful to @megazone for the wonderful accompanying documentation whose diagrams helped me understand TCP/IP + Ethernet networking and led to my career.

#USRobotics forever! ❣
El 12 de junio, se cumplen 28 años de la fusión de 3Com (Ethernet) y US Robotics (Módems) en 1997. Una unión de $6.6 mil millones que buscó dominar la red, ¡pero la velocidad de Internet los superó! #retrocomputingmx #3com #USRobotics #HistoriaTech #dialup #90s
