in reply to The last time I used a dial-up modem was...

I'm on dialup, ever since I got my PC way back in 2003. Nevertheless, a laggy, low-bandwidth connection has never really obstructed me to participate in free software projects. ;)

FWIW, I connect via a Conexant HSF modem using the Linuxant drivers, which uses Perl for managing the DCP (digital call progress) process for the winmodem. So I truly owe Perl a lot for getting me on the Internet. :D
