My pops was in sales. The fax line itself was a write off. That said, at one point he told a colleague to fax him something and he would pick it up at home and it was busy, which got me busted. Mostly the fax line was used then for him to send his receipt scans into accounting though.
I was grounded for that as well. But it was also near/around the time that broadband/docsis was rolling out so they moved to it at some point soon after.
My tech inept dad was what got me into tech honestly. He had a nack for turning off the computer by just holding the power button back in the windows 95 days. Eventually he corrupted the thing, blamed me and forced me to "fix" it with gateway support. I ended up searching up how to install an OS at the school lab, and just re-installed windows for him and stopped using a computer at home until i could get my own.
