We couldn't wait to get into the Total Control we rescued from the abandoned Dialstar ISP. In this video we take a brief look at the history of the product line and then get right into checking out the unit we procured.

We'll have more coming up soon, so thank you for your support that makes projects like this one possible!

Fascinating! I love these videos. So well done.

Watching these dialup ISP videos brings me back to the 90s and early to mid 2000s back when I was still using 56k dialup (parents didn't want to pay for broadband until I convinced them in 06). It's really interesting to see the backend of these dialup ISPs. It's funny because I work for my local ISP, but we deal in DSL and FTTH, though we are starting a massive fiber rollout so we can discontinue our DSL services. Keep up the fantastic work!

Another amazing video. This equipment is awesome to get a close look at. It makes me so happy that you are keeping this tech alive!
