I remember people talking in 1993 about shell accounts at netcom, being
able to bounce around the world on one phone call. About that time, my
company got a 56k leased line from UC Berkeley. I had a shell account,
tried playing with tools like SLiRP to connect Windows to the net, then
had ISDN to my office, which had a T1. DSL wasn't until 2000 or so, and
then it was something like 384k/128k.

25 years later and I'm pricing out symmetric gig networking for my
home...
