Also there used to be external #Ethernet "#Modems"...

So it's not impossible to facilitate something like that.

  • Just a 10/100BASE-T adaptor connected via RS-232...
Photo of an "Accton Etherpocket-SP" parallel-port ethernet adaptor (circa 1990, DOS drivers). 

It supports both coax and 10 Base-T. Supplementary power is drawn from a PS/2 passthrough cable.

Geeks Are Sexy: From 300 bps to 56K: The Glorious Noise of Getting Online. “Remember when the internet screamed at you before letting you online? Youtuber Retrocet has preserved the full symphony of dial-up modems in a compilation that takes us on a journey from the snail-paced 300 bps connections to the lightning-fast (at the time) 56K. Each shriek, screech, and static hiss is historically […]

I did not know AOL still offered dial-up service!

"AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after its debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day"

It's the end of an era...that I thought ended a long time ago.

25 years separate these two modem cards, the bigger one able to spit out 300 baud while its younger relative roared at 57,600 (sometimes). Both screamed while doing their thing and both are united in obsolescence.

The age of the modem on home computers was glorious if frustrating at times. I miss it, the Internet got worse fast even as speed increased.

"[T]he innovations in digital signal processing architectures pioneered at UCLA and Broadcom persist in the digital modems that enable both wired and wireless communications in our devices. For these advances, along with contributions to expanding science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education, [Henry] Samueli is the recipient of the 2025 IEEE Medal of Honor."

I wonder, is there a cable modem with an SFP+ port available on the market yet?

I didn't immediately see anything from a web search...

National security risks in routers, targeted in bipartisan Senate bill. A separate piece of bipartisan Senate legislation would create a insurance working group.

How many #modems can you identify from sound alone?

Please boost for reach! Peace!

D-Link won’t fix critical bug in 60,000 exposed EoL #modems

Attackers (unauthenticated) can modify any user’s password via a privileged API, in addition to OS command injection and path traversal capabilities.

This highlights the risk of continuing to use EOL networking devices. These vulnerabilities will remain unpatched by the vendor.
