Why Is SneakyNet

Why not?

No really, why?

This is all for fun. Networks are a fantastically interesting form of communication over often times vast differences. These distances are shortened from days and weeks of travel to mere milliseconds by colossal infrastructure systems that relay, process, and transmit data from point to point.

As time moves forward and technology changes, some forms of network communication become obsolete. SneakyNet attempts to preserve some of the fun of the early days of the internet where network technology was new and exciting, and the concept of connecting your communications instrument to a larger collection was a novel experience.

We hope that our mission is fulfilled and you have gained some new understanding of how the connected world around you started, as well as getting to see a neat technology in action.

What about it is sneaky?

We have to be sneaky so the phone company people from ShadyTel don't notice what we're up to and start billing for the telephone lines. How else could we offer our low low prices?
