    I first installed OG Red Hat 5.2 in 1998, but my computer had a Winmodem rather than a full hardware modem, so I never got it connected to the internet, which severely reduced how useful it was to me. I got broadband a year later, and that changed everything!

      I fiddled with a winmodem wrapper, actually bought a hardware modem that connected via usb (???), until I got broadband. It does change everything.
