Chappe semaphore system in France:

The major use was to distrubute the winning numbers for the French
national lottery. And yes... it was encrypted.

Guglielmo Marconi invented wireless communications in late 19th
century.
I dont think he had a network though so this may not be the answer you
want.

I had the first one..1984, wireless internet!

Bah... I had the first mass distribution of Usenet content to BBS's,
without wires in about 1982. I would copy the daily Usenet messages
and binaries from ihnp4 to a DC600A QIC cartridge tape, jump on my
bicycle, and deliver the tapes to the BBS owners. They would also
return the previous days tape for re-use. No wires anywhere in sight.
There was also some discussion of using rockets, model airplanes, or
blimp delivery, but it didn't fly.

Ahhhh..The BBS's with the C64
Come a long way, connecting with a Hayes a 2400 baud modem....

That's a long way? I remember how snappy the 300 baud acoustic
couplers felt, migrating up from 110 baud modems.

About the same way I felt when we upgraded our 50 baud teletypes to 75
baud kleinschmidts! Only a couple of years ago, it seems like......
Anyone remember Morse code?

I used to run 50 baud Teletype model 15 printers, model 14 transmitter
distributor, and model 15 typing reperf. I also had a Kleinschmidt
printer. Really different from the Teletype. I ran all this stuff with
850 Hz frequency shift keying on 3.625MHz. The first dot matrix printer
I saw was an Extel, which was a replacement for a Teletype model 15 for
wire service use. The first inkjet printer I saw was an Olivetti. It
was interesting in that each sweep of the print head only did one
vertical dot per sweep of the head.

As for Morse, I haven't used it in a while, but still remember it. One
of my projects for some day is to write a program that will generate
telephone ring tones in Morse. I'd like the ringer to just give me the
initials of the caller. Seems a lot easier than remember what dumb song
I assigned to each of the callers.

On old modems and such, my first modem was a 300bps modem I built using
an XR2206 and XR2211. I used this to call into the Source, an early
consumer timeshare service. The Source had a cross assembler for the
MC6800 processor. I had wire wrapped a small computer using it. I then
wrote my code online on the Source, got back the binary code (Motorola
S records) and sent them to an eprom programmer, burned the chip,
plugged it in my wire wrapped machine, and got it running.

My first internet was telnetting from San Luis Obispo CA to the
Cleveland Freenet where I had an account (ap621). Long time ago!

Thanks for the nice story Harold. It all brings back memories.
