That doesn't make sense for        WvV>> IBN nodes.               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              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 15/0 16/0 19/37 40 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 114/709       SEEN-BY: 120/340 123/130 131 124/5016 129/305 331 132/174 142/926       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 6 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/111 112 113 200 206 275 317 424 426 428 470 550 664 700       SEEN-BY: 240/2100 5411 5824 5832 5853 6309 266/512 280/464 5003 5555       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/119 219 319       SEEN-BY: 322/0 757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119 5019/40 5020/1042       SEEN-BY: 5053/58       PATH: 280/5555 464 240/5832 320/219 229/426           |
