After getting excited that you could change the phone number the fact that it did not beep it was a little let down. I wonder if the shown default number matches the number in the audio at all?

Anyways, cool project and I like the easy to remember domain.

Oh, nostalgia. I had a US Robotics 56K modem, which produced two bell-alike sounds during handshake. It was cool. I search for that specific sounds for years and cannot find.

Amazing, however when I changed the number I expected an audio recording of some guy answering in the middle of the night over a modem negotiation sound

The AOL version missed an opportunity: After connecting it should have said, "You've got mail!"

Ah good old dial up days in early 2000s. Browsing means the phone cannot be used for calling.

:)

Great

Just needs a pulse dialing option ;)

i was expecting web browser after dialup :(

I’ve tried to explain my kid how we went online back in the days. Need to show this to her.

Sucks that we don’t have these kind of little rituals today. Everything is just always on. This kind of thing sounds like you were blasting off into the future, your day was divided between offline and online, and this was you crossing the barrier to the next world.

it felt suddenly expensive to be online again...

I need to press "Stop" before all images fully load

Guess I don’t have any mail :(

I wanted the AOL one to say "Welcome" before "you've got mail!" lol

This is a masterpiece

Now do minicom and pppd!
