mr_daemonSo, 86box has gotten General Modem Emulation in 4.2, and you can absolutely dial up with SLIP to access the internet over SLiRP, and it absolutely works.
Dialog Boxes you have not seen in Quite Some Time, volume 5.
Kata 📎@mr_daemon For some reason, I kept this screenshot from 2000-07-12. Probably because I was so hyped that I could be online for 4 hours (!) and download 40 MBs (!), as this was our first flatrate internet access. 😅 I think this was it (german article from May 2000): https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1125263/sonnet-flatrate-fuer-79-mark.html
I don’t remember why it shows 115.200 bps on my shot. Was this ISDN channel bonding (we had that for a while)? Or was it a modem and that’s just the speed of the serial link? No idea anymore how any of this worked. 🤔
Bart Allen@movq @mr_daemon that's really awesome you kept that. In 2002 my family jumped straight from 64k to 10Mbps coax baby! Still loved explaining it to my parents "You mean we can be on the phone at the same time as using the Internet?!"
@barryallen2023 10 Mbps Internet uplink in 2002? Oh my goodness! 🤯 Which country was that, USA?
@movq yes it was. But don't get too excited. It didn't move past that until about 2020.
@barryallen2023 … there’s always a catch 😂
