The ones where you put the actual phone receiver on them? My dad had one of those.

@katrinakatrinka @Janeishly @TheLancashireman No, you’d dial the phone and then when you heard it pick up, you’d press a big red button on the modem and hang up the phone.

@katrinakatrinka @shawnhooper @Janeishly @TheLancashireman yeah, I’ve got one of these… was my first modem.

I’ve even kept a leased USWest rotary phone so I have a legit handset 📞 for using it if the opportunity arises.
