A 1993 Mexico BBS session replay documents dial-up history, not a current security issue.

Óscar Toledo G. published a JavaScript replay of a February 1993 dial-up session on Mexico's La Cueva BBS, captured at 2400 baud on a homebrew Zilog Z280 computer. The post describes serial terminals, AT commands, and ANSI sequences, plus a redacted 1993 BBS phone list and a second capture from Nopal BBS. It is personal computing history, not a current security incident or advisory.

My main computer in 1993 was a Zilog Z280-based homebrew computer with 512 KB of RAM. It had a VGA card for display, a 3 1/2" floppy disk drive, and connectors for serial ports, and printer port. I got a discarded Hayes modem with the amazing speed of 2400 bauds.
