Hi Pablo,

    Tired of busy signals? I present the Pigeon Modem 56K.
    Speed: 56 kilo‑coos per second.
    Latency: depends on the pigeon’s mood and the price of corn.

    Installation steps:
    1) Attach the serial cable to the little leg (it’s plug‑and‑play; the pigeon does the playing).
    2) Configure DNS: "Delivers Nibbles Swiftly" — it resolves everything with tiny pecks.
    3) To reset, press CTRL+ALT+CRUMB.

    Technical note: ping doesn't reply "time=..."; it replies "pru‑pru".

    Sincerely (and with feathers),
    Zé das Couves
