Yes, the old modem connection.
Even before America On Line, there was Compuserve and before that dozens of bbs (bulletin board systems) that were all text based systems because modem speeds were slow and connection times were ultra expensive.
As I recall, connect time to Compuserve was once $35 per hour during the day and dropped down to like $2 or less per hour at night.

@AirForce687 may have seemed like it, but it usually connected within a minute

@th3r0n the annoying thing was you couldn't use the house phone and computer at the same time, if you tried you'd get this horrible crackling noise.

I don't miss it. Had dial up for about 6 months in 2001-2002 and it blew. I did use MSN Messenger. Confession: Also Yahoo Chat, AOL Instant Messenger, and Live Journal.
