I still have my Hayes 33.6kbaud Voice SmartModem. I got it long after the BBS era. This was my first device to access the Internet with, around 1999. It was great. And I could even play StarCraft with a friend by dialing him up! See, this was important because Internet access cost about $1/hr. And in late 90s Ukraine, that was quite a lot of money. $200/month was a decent salary back then. Now, my mother's computer was running Windows NT 4.0, and it had a dial-up server feature. So I set it up, along with a small web server[1], and wrote a CGI binary in Delphi to serve up my file stash (laboriously downloaded from the web) to whoever dialed in... which was me, when I was away from home, or some of my friends. There was also an FTP server for uploading files, and a VNC server for painstakingly slow remote control if needs be. All powered by the trustworthy Hayes Smart Modem.
