I used to hang both online and IRL with one of the folks in the documentary. Seems like yesterday. Still have nostaligic memories of being enamored by his stack of USR 16.8k HST modems and the T1 (iirc) he managed to get to his residence.. (again, iirc), his house was like under 1000 feet (loop length) to the CO (central office) where the 4ESS (telephone switch) was located. (could be inaccurate recollections..)

As I recall, I never knew any of the people in the documentary, but definitely used to hang out with various people in the community who were members of a large Cambridge MA BBS.
