   Hello Bj”rn,   
      
   On Monday September 12 2022 17:19, you wrote to Wilfred van Velzen:

    BF>    Have you already forgotten about dial-up internet? :)   
      
   Yes, I forgot about it because it no longer exists here. Dial up internet only   
   exists in combination with good old POTS and that is history in most parts of   
   the world. I would not know of any provider here that still offers dial up   
   internet. It makes no sense. Voice telephony is VOIP. Without a digital   
   internet connection, you have no telephone. And that internet connection is a   
   24/7 connection. Here analog telephony only exist as the last decameter from   
   the ATA next to the cable modem to the telephone on my desk. And that last   
   analog decameter will be history in the near future too.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
