Thank you.

EOF is End Of File but what's ATH?

You can tell me in an instant where Roast Beef said that thing that one time about noodles, but you ain't ever owned a modem?   What the fuck, man?

+++ = Hello Modem
ATH = Hang Up

+++ = Hello Modem

Remember the good old days when sending someone on dialup a CTCP PING +++ATH0 on IRC or an ICMP ping containing those bytes would disconnect them?

The warbles of the 300-2400 baud escalation were ringing in my memory.

I did but we only used Prodigy and AOL.

This arc reminds me of an Interactive Fiction game my friends and I were planning on making, in which the narrator would gradually gain sentience and then die as a result of the player's mission.

The idea was that the narrator was the spirit of the French Revolution and the player would be compromising her ideals.

Of all the projects we never followed through on, I'm gladdest about this one.

Stolen From Assetbar:

Three plus signs issued in rapid succession on just about any analog modem causes the modem to drop into command mode, where instead of passing on the information received from the local computer on to the remote modem, it instead interprets this information as commands. If the local computer subsequently issued the command "ATH" to the local modem, this would cause it to hang up, thereby disconnecting it from the remote modem. "EOF" would not to my knowledge be part of any modem command set, but this is a Mystical Realism Modem, so who knows. "EOF" means "End of File" and in the present Mystical context seems to signify finality.

If anything, this was my only guff with this story line.  Mexican Magical Realism always brings the crazy and the ultimate fulfilment.  The KMR seemed a little too much like the real world.

Then again, my repeated viewings of Team America could have some bearing on this perception.
