I liked the original mac server software. If you tried to log onto a server and didn't have access or the service was not turned on or the port was not set to listen it would respond with "Service Not Available" in Klingon.
The first modem I had was an Apple 300 baud modem. All of the software available at first you had to open a serial connection to the modem and type in the command ATDT then the phone number. AT was to get the attention of the modem that a command was being typed and DT was the command to Dial Tone, versus DP which was Dial Pulse. If you accidentally typed ET instead of AT the modem would type back "Phone Home"
If you had an Apple Newton and set your location to Groom Lake, NV. It would change all the icons to Space Invaders game graphics.
Those were the way geeky nerdy fun days.
