It might be time for folks to look into alternative technologies such
as FidoNet (which still exists mostly in parts of the world where
broadband is nonexistant and all phone calls are metered) along with
dialup networking.

My nickname for this concept is "BBS 21" combining the function of the
1980-1995 (mostly) MS-DOS BBS software with modern user interfaces and
TCP/IP.

BBS 21 would have dialup access, offline messaging (via Simple Offline
Usenet Packet technology) to minimize user connect time.

Now there is a possible weak spot for BBS 21; that is the continued
ability to use a modem over the Public Switched Telephone Network .
