Ooh, Australia, I have a question. Was PalTalk a big thing over there? Obviously way after what you described. I remember my father having an old classmate over from Australia and he introduced us to “The Internet”, and how instant messaging was possible a cross borders through PalTalk. Even though I never heard anyone using it in Europe, even years past that encounter.

I had to telnet into chat rooms. We had no browsers. I was old before you were born.

Doesn’t telnet have in-band signaling? I would hardly call that elegant.
