Might as well be creative and implement a new replacement for the <blink>
tag using JavaScript.
whut?

Ah yes, the <marquee> tag ... designed when the Internet Exploder team decided
they had to one-up Netscape and build something even *more* obnoxious than
the <blink> tag.
Anyone know of a dialup modem service that just opens a tcpip socket to an IP address when it connects?
Wait... and convert the modem traffic to TCP/IP as a result?
Isn't that the old ppp or somesuch? You could create something that does this with off-the-shelf stuff.
Or, you could just buy into AOL, if they're still around.
You could probably *buy AOL* for less than the cost of a bank of modems.
That having been said, I'm pretty sure Level 3 offers white label dialup service. Probably out of your price range though.

Just thinking of a crafty way of making citadel accessible via dialup modems
even where I'm co-located across the world.
get a xyplex, hook up modems to it, connect it to a box via tcp...
I maintain a dialup account through Budget Dialup.... $6 for a 10-hour
block of internets at a blazing fast 56k, expires in a year. Got it
hooked up on my Palm, since I don't feel like paying verizon for a data
plan or any more than the $15/mo I pay for cellular service.

interesting. I thought you could only tether the palm to a PC, you can use
dialup and access the web via the dialup connection?
Yep.
Added a network using the "virtual modem" connection, username,
password, phone number... makes the call out and connects as a dialup
service... Slow but functional.
Other connections are bluetooth to macbook and cable/cradle.

I was mildly pleased and surprised when I found this.
I went over to Wikipedia to pull up their article on POP3 to figure out what the default TCP port POP3 servers listen to is. While browsing the page, I thought to myself, "I wonder if there's any mention of POP4."
Lo and behold, there's a paragraph in the History section about POP4 and a link to the POP4 website under the "External links" section.
Yet another UCG'er on Wikipedia!
Go Ford!

Hitler has a wiki page? Why doesn't it turn up as the first hit on pretty
much *any* Google search?

Reliability requires redundancy.
Redundancy introduces complexity.
