At one point I had STRITF set up to access CompuServe from my greenscreen
at work to check mail and do other text-oriented stuff.  Of course, that
was back when Compu$erve was a text-oriented service...   Worked pretty
good, but we only had an old ECS modem that chugged at 2400.  I'm sure a
faster modem would do wonders!  (:
