I'm old enough you have to replace "cracking neighbors wifi" with cloning our modem and "youtube" with funny pictures from irc homies, but same. Working around internet access restrictions was a milestone between fun things I could do with computers and how they really worked

What’s the modem clone about?

They would unplug our isp provided modem and take it to bed with them, so I tracked down another one from the manufacturer and copied the eeprom from theirs onto it. It was a simpler time :p
