About

Remember waiting? Really waiting? Staring at a screen while your computer screamed into a phone line for permission to load a single webpage?
Dial-Up Simulator brings that experience back. Every page you visit gets a full-screen retro terminal overlay — complete with AT commands, a random ISP name, touch-tone dialing, carrier detection, protocol negotiation, and a painfully slow progress bar made of block characters. All on a CRT-style display with scanlines.
Oh, and the sound. That sound. The glorious screech of a modem handshake plays on every connection.
Features:

Full modem handshake sequence with randomized ISP names and phone numbers
Three speed settings: 14.4K (full suffering), 28.8K (moderate pain), 56K (blazing fast)
Authentic modem connection sound with volume control
CRT scanline overlay and green phosphor terminal aesthetic
Connection counter — track how many times you've "dialed in"
Master on/off toggle so you can disable it without uninstalling
Works on every page

Perfect for:

Pranking coworkers
Making millennials nostalgic
Making Gen Z confused
Reminding yourself that broadband is a gift

No data collection. No tracking. Just pure, unnecessary suffering.
