I still have my USR Courier :)

It would be fun to test if it would still work but I have no landline anymore and I'm not sure where to dial too.

There are still BBSes running with dialup lines. See https://www.telnetbbsguide.com/connection/dial-up/

My USR Courier and solid ISP would allow me to rock a 185 ping in Quake 1. So many fond memories of those devices.
