I can't believe I still remember the IOL No Limits number (Prob doesn't work now and was only subscription but none the less, still an ISP number )

1332103001235. I'm fairly certain that was it :pac:

For the record, this page https://www.rgb.ie/2015/10/25/eir-dial-up-numbers-for-use-with-modems-and-phone-lines/ said

Eir dial-up numbers are as follows:

1892 150 150 – Eir dial-up Pay As You Go
1893 25 25 25 – Eir dial-up Flat Rate 25
1893 60 60 60 – Eir dial-up Flat Rate 60
1893 150 150 – Eir dial-up Flat Rate Anytime
1891 150 150 – Eir dial-up Subscription

We’ve tested the above dial-up numbers for Eir and can confirm that they all work. The 1891 150 150 requires an Eir username and password. We used an old Eircom dial-up account and it connected fine.

I have tested them (2020-10-10) and they all answer with a modem. As I have no Eir account, and cannot get a response from Eir about how to get one, I have not been able to see if a connection actually works.

had an old Windows 98 with a 36k modem dialed up worked Fine a few weeks ago.!

Which number did you dial? And was that logging in with an account and password that is still current with Eir? Or no challenge?

I managed to speak to a sales guy in Eir. Very nice, very eager but completely clueless about dial-up accounts, as were all the managers he asked. According to their policies (eir.ie/policy) they do seem to have a 25-hr/month, 60-hr/month, and non-recurrent accounts, with the non-recurrent one charging for access by the second. But no-one has any information about those types of account.

username and password 'free' on 1892 150 150 should bill your phone bill at a rate dependent on your phone provider but usually a tad less than a local call

Very interesting, thanks. Turns out I am unable to access the 1892150150 number from my Virgin-bundled "landline" — it gives Unobtainable, which probably means they are blocking it (I get a modem whistle from that number when I use my cellphone, so the number itself is OK).

I did manage to connect to 1891150150, however, but was unable to log in. Thanks to RGB, I had an eircom account to test, and that also failed, probably because it was for use with the 1982 number.

No matter, I proved that the hardware is still working (A WiFlyer portable wireless AP with a built-in dialer and PPP manager like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006ZTERE%3Ftag%3Dytk00425-20), and that given the right combination of a POTS copper landline and a clear day, dial-up probably still functions correctly. Testing an analog system over a digital connection was always going to be tricky.

Thanks everyone for your help.
