The point is by cutting the external link the internal may well continue , o course everyone had ignored the satellite links and other conection mediums etc etc , closing the net aint that easy here in Au in spite what goolia would have us believe
I remember little boxen with buttons and the pressure not to use the telephone system for information collection , there might be sush a situation but here in Au I don't see it happening anytime soon
It isn't about recreating the internet, but an alternative message/information passing service. It will only work if people stick to text messages. seriously, who wants to wait 24 hours for some web pages to download over dialup.
My first dial up was a PMG 300 baud job that was 6 inches by 3 inches by 3 feet, painted grey, and would take 24 hours to download any of todays web pages. But then, it wasn't designed for windows. Perhaps I better see if it still around, as a backup for nuke or other attacks. It was used to dial into Microchips (PIC) first BBS. This was in the days when they provided a line to the US, for the price of a local OZ call.
I would really doubt that I could find any other old dial ups around here, well, apart from a 56K USB unit that I should be able to resurrect, now that I think about it. That will do the job. I would have to find the driver of course.
Cheers Don...
