Hell, it's probably how a lot of us started.  Interestingly, I hadn't
heard of KA9Q before - thought Trumpet Winsock was the only option.
Looks like you use it for a SLIP connection.  How would that work:
serial line to your 300 baud acoustic coupler modem and a SLIP
connection agreement to your university (since that would predate ISPs)?

Was just thinking it would be cool to give this a try, but the reality
is I'm happy enough at a console with mutt and linux/freebsd.  Would be
hard to justify leaving that environment for anything other than
nostalgia.  

That said, let the hypocricy show: someone gets online with a C64 and I
think it's the coolest thing ever.  Not sure what the mental watershed is.
