Even better was that if you looked at the logs it would show the hidden credentials for dialing in. You could copy those and create your own dial up connection without using the app at all


Even better even better: the password encoding scheme was rot13 prefixed with a zero and postfixed with a one. I made a keygen for it. Completely forgot about it until this very moment!


Also did this with netzero. Didn't like their software/UI "borrowed" their credentials and plugged them into Windows 95 Dial up networking FTW


haha, finally I hear someone else did this. yes exactly, I enabled logging of the PPP connection and pulled the creds, I remember feeling like I could do anything after discovering this.....the good days!
