In the mid-90s there was a fun and short period of time where IRC clients like mIRC could be set to auto-receive files through DCC.. and would happily write to names like LPT1 (which of course would just write the data directly to the recipient’s printer)

Also, send a COM1 file containing "+++ATH" to someone you dislike to see them disconnect. I just made this up but it should work, right?

For the absolute worst modems, I believe you could just send that in a PING on IRC and their client would write the string back and hang up
