SDF still provides a free shell: ssh://new@sdf.org https://sdf.org/

I heard about SDF through telehack, and very much appreciate the similar vibe, to say nothing of the historical provenance of SDF!

List needs to be amended with StarWars over telnet: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl ( http://lifehacker.com/373571/watch-star-wars-in-text-via-tel... )

I don't think that was around in 1997 though...

I like to imagine a world where that is the only copy.

I like modems. How feasible is it to run actual, real modems over IP-based network? Sampling audio at one end and playing it back on the other. We could have the old BBSs back. That would be great.

http://iaxmodem.sourceforge.net/ I ran a business on this, it works fine.

Yeah that's a software modem. I meant using real modems over internet. I know, makes no sense really. This is only nostalgia.
