@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."

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.
