building a pc now is like childs play compared to say the 90s remember trying to find drivers? going online was a last resort cuz it could mean pc death, that is if you had drivers for your nic card and could get the right hardware handshaking protocols didnt forget 75 different settings baud rates had to be set just right .i fell in love with win2k when it came out win me was the toy os that had to be reinstalled every 3 months,remember getting internet working on 95? or even better 3.1 lol took me a week on my first 3.1 machine and i remember being hot shit with my 36k modem that cost 75$!!
I worked for CompuServe before the AOL merge.... INIT STRINGS WERE HELL!!! 28.8 baud was the greatest speed then for the home user.
"okay, pull up terminal services... Click Start/Accessories/System Tools/Terminal"
"Okay, is your computer on this line, or do you have a second line?"
"Second line? Great! Type this, A T Ampersand F and hit enter... It's Shift 7... The and sign... yeah, hold down shift and hit 7, now F, and hit enter. What does it say?"
"okay"
"GREAT! You have the correct modem drivers installed"
"Now type A T D T and hit enter. Hmmm.... no dial tone... Type AT&F again and hit enter."
"okay"
"What is the exact model of your modem, I need to get an initialization string for you. Yes, the box that plugs into the phone line."
"Oh, you have an internal? That narrows it down, and makes it easier to find out... Do this, go back to your terminal window...."
UGH!!
