Interesting. I briefly read somewhere about dialup gateways, but how do they actually work?
How is that working out?
I wonder how dialup can be made new and relevant again.

When most people are using cell phones or VOIP, not very, but
for those stuck without any other option but copper, it's
still one way to get information. It's also good for people
in countries where their internet is censored and they want
some way to exchange messages.
But with the demise of dialup lines more and more everywhere,
and the scarcity of modems, I doubt that most people would even
be aware of the option.
I know at least one person who uses dialup to access internet
stuff. It's only $8/mo for them. Nobody can seem to reach them
over the phone since the line is in use on internet most of the
day. But I think they just stick to Facbook or something and
are unaware of BBSes availble through the inernational
switching that you provide or by telnet.
