How about a modem? 

I think all my machines from 286 through Pentium 4 all had hardware modems. I 
even have 2 different PCMCIA modems laying around here for it somewhere. 

Then you could dial up a BBS… that is if you can find one. You may need to run 
your own. 

I also recall having some cable that would connect two machines. Possibly 
either over the parallel or serial ports. I think it may have been some 
Symantec product. Possibly called LAP-LINK or something like that. But, I 
honestly don’t ever remember using it.
