    I have a really cool moment in memory
    with the equally extremely cool
    Crosspoint software.

    My goodness, now there is a name from the past. My father used to spend many hours fighting with Crosspoint for work, although I do not remember many specifics it didn't help that our crappy phone lines barely got in the mid 30-kbps nevermind 56k.

    56kbps was a special digital mode that required special receiving modems/lines. So-called 56K modems could not actually connect to *each other* at 56kbps.
