And if one wants to re-live / historically interpret the Victorian
Internet, there is an on-line community enabling analog current loop
telegraphy with tunneling over IP.
(IDK if it's UDP or TCP; i kinda hope it's multicast UDP at the
bottom. I'm not looking, don't need another rabbit hole!)

You can do good old American Morse wireline telegraphy over the internet today.

(This original form of the code used the spacing of clicks subtly
differently than the International Morse dots and dashes most of us
learned as (pre)teens.)

(and of course some Hams are keeping International Morse on wireless
-- the Edwardian Internet ?? -- alive on the shortwaves. HI HI 73 OM )

Every decade or so, G.Marconi's daughter the Princess Elletra visits
Marconi National Historic Site on Cape Cod and/or related sites in
Canada and UK etc; she came again this last May:
