@sabi First, let me explain to you a landline phone device circa 1986... 😎
Let's skip the whole ISDN era too please...

@jab01701mid @sabi I bought MacSlip directly from the publisher—by which I mean I walked in their door and handed them money in exchange for a floppy.

@adamrice @sabi Remember that time when you could write some software, put it on a floppy, and sell it to somebody for $200 or $2000, a few hundred or thousand times ? I miss those days...

@sabi It was like a VPN, except on a serial terminal rather than a layer on a modern LAN...
And yes, I have thin ethernet terminators and TEE connectors, still readily available just in case...
