I still have one of my first modems, a Creatix LC 144 VF:

I *think* this was the modem that I used when I first connected to the internet, but I’m not sure.
I plugged it in again and it still works:
[](https://movq.de/v/37e694fdfd/0.jpg)
[](https://movq.de/v/37e694fdfd/1.jpg)
The firmware appears to be from 1994, which sounds about right. I don’t think we had internet access before that. We certainly did use local mailboxes, though. (Or BBS’s, as you might call them.)
I now want to actually use that modem again. For the moment, I can only use a phone to dial into it, I lack a second modem to actually establish a connection. Here’s a video:

Not spectacular, but the modem does answer after me entering `ATA`.
I bought another cheap old modem on eBay and am now waiting for it to arrive. Once it’s here, I want to simulate an actual dial-up session, hopefully from OS/2 or Windows 3.x.

I'm thinking about putting this up on all my projects and even on the front page of my Gitea instance 🤔

- Minimal syntax & concepts → low learning curve
- Compiled speed → high throughput
- Built-in CSP concurrency → scalable by default

- Simple, minimal syntax—master the core in hours, not months.
- CSP-style concurrency (goroutines & channels)—safe, scalable parallelism.
- Blazing-fast compiler & single-binary deploys—zero runtime dependencies.
- Rich stdlib & built-in tooling (gofmt, go test, modules).
- No heavy frameworks or hidden magic—unlike Java/C++/Python overhead.
