Re: I used to be jealous of ISDN
Somewhere here on ElReg, I commented on how I managed to install my personal T1 line in the mid 1980's ... thus bypassing the ISDN clusterfuck. I can't be arsed to find the post.
That said, I still connect to TehIntraWebTubes via modem at 2400 baud about 7 days per month, and sometimes 1200 when it's damp. Aging cable plant & Mendocino County sea-fog makes for a poor signal/noise ratio.
