Here you will find the original COMversations articles, as they appeared in PC Quest between 1993 and 1996.They are here mostly as a reference for old-timers on a nostalgia trip (me included) as well as for people who want to know what “the good/bad old days” were like before the Internet became available to most of us.
The articles focussed on communications and networking, and attempted to clear up issues and questions about this field.
The articles appear in chronological order. The first article in this list was the first one that was published - in January 1993.
Please note: These articles are old, and in many case do no longer have any relevance to stuff that exists today. Please do not write to me trying to “update” me on things (like “hey, haven’t you heard of 56kbps modems?”) - most of this stuff was current when it was written - back in the 1990’s.
