About

Welcome to The Old Net store.

I am a vintage computer enthusiast with a particular interest in old-fashioned internet and connectivity.

In February of 2019 I created TheOldNet.com as a way for people like me to browse the 1990's internet on 1990's computers. Please check it out!

I have a dozen or so computers with dialup modems that I thought were effectively useless. I thought this was a shame and a waste. I started to learn about all of the different ways to connect computers together using modems. Everything from dry-line voltage induction, to building an in-house telephone network using VOIP to modem emulation.

My goal is to provide these products to you with a well thought out design, a quality build, and a reasonable price. I ship from Canada and I try to keep the shipping cost as low as possible.

For buyers in the UK please check out my eBay store under TheOldNet. The UK VAT changes in 2021 have made things a bit of a headache so for now the only market place where I can ship to the UK is eBay. The prices and product are the same.

My Macintosh SE/30 is online!

For RS232 Serial Wifi Modem for Vintage Computers V3

I connected this to my Macintosh SE/30 and have been able to both connect to BBSes over telnet and to a local PPP server to set up a full TCP/IP stack.

I'd love to see a video tutorial for that, I have an SE/30 too! I haven't set it up for PPP with this modem yet. Was it easy?

Very good product.

For RS232 Serial Wifi Modem for Vintage Computers V3

I have used this modem with CP/M machine SC126 (Z180, 18 MHz) - modem works on the first touch without any problem. Modem works as time machine - I sit again on text based monitor and I am again connecting to BBS. Wonderful!

Great product, bringing back memories!.

For RS232 Serial Wifi Modem for Vintage Computers V3

This was a great purchase. I am now able to use my old software from the dialup days, software I thought I would probably never use again. Very well designed and works exactly as advertised. Included documentation very clear and concise, and gets you up and running quickly.

Definitely five stars!

Just what I needed!

For RS232 Serial Wifi Modem for Vintage Computers V3

I collect and restore vintage computers, and part of that includes re-living the online experience. While I still maintain a dial-up telephone line and modem, this RS232 Serial Wifi Modem makes it a much simpler process to get online with BBS's over Telnet. The biggest factor for my purchase decision was the portability... I can move this device from system to system with ease. That being said... I think having a few of these on-hand would be a good idea, too. ;)

Nice RS232 modem for retro computer

For RS232 Serial Wifi Modem for Vintage Computers V3

I searched for a solution to connect my Monotech Nuxt V2.0 system to BBS'es. This is a nice product that does the job. Was able to connect it easily to the Wifi network, also got file transfers from BBS'es working. Nice that the product is in a 3D printed case, so no PCB hanging wide open outside your computer.
