Really? Awesome ... now I just need to find my old 56K modem  As an aside, Wikipedia tells me that PTT (a telnet-based bbs) is wildly popular in Taiwan.

Sorry - not sure what you mean here by "RRS".

| Japan has this similar situation. Ignoring the UTF-8 standard in fonts. There used to be a huge usage of old Java applets and HTML3 websites in Japan but they're actively gone thanks to chan boards and reputable blog services. |
So true - I recently discovered this when creating a delineated text file for generating students reports in latex by pulling Korean names from the school's website ... painful.

Couldn't agree more. IMO though Japanese websites come out marginally ahead of Korean ones (but not by much). |
