[Story] "Hacking" my poorly configured dial-up ISP to play MUDs for free in c/[email protected]

@beto Universities were so important enabling things back then. I used to have accounts in several labs for nearby universities (UFSC, UFPR, etc.) - all hacked, and so did many others. We'd leave our files hidden away in the filesystem, create accounts with plausible-looking names, etc.

I always wondered if the sysadmins knew anything about what we were doing. A decade later I met an ex-lab admin and asked that. He said "know about it? We even added your secret directories to our tape backup."

What was the first modem you ever had? How fast was it? in c/[email protected]

A 14.4k from Hayes. It's what came with my IBM Aptiva. They barely mentioned modem functionality, it was to be used to send and receive faxes.
