867-5309

One of the most famous telephone numbers in the world. Made famous by the 1980's song by Tommy Tutone. The number is a favorite among phreaks, prank callers, college students, or anyone else looking to raise some hell.

I called 867-5309 in my area code, and I got the Suicide Prevention Hotline.

winmodem

A type of modem that relies on a computer's CPU, software, and the Windows operating system to work. Winmodems are known to be system resource hogs, and usually come with buggy drivers causing system instability.

Though Winmodems are intended to be used with the Windows operating system, there are Linux drivers available. Regardless of what you may read or hear, Winmodems are not real modems.

Controller-based modems are superior to Winmodems because they don't rely on your computer's CPU or operating system to work.
