Tanel, how old are you? Are you telling me you've never lived in a world with a dial up connection to the internet? With only one phone line? π

uhhh, maybe? i donβt know
Hahaha! Back in the late nineties, most people didn't have dedicated phone lines for their internet connection, so if someone dialed out on a land line phone or accepted an incoming call, you'd get kicked off the internet.
Back then, the internet wasn't really seen as a necessity, so it just piggybacked on the main phone line for most residences. It was a novelty, much like bitcoin in the early years. Not taken seriously by very many.
Oh I forgot about that!
