With a real dialup connection or via SSH, you do not need Gemini's encryption... may as well use one of the simpler sister protocols.

I think there are issues with modems over VoiP (and modern cell phones) due to the compression used. I’d expect it is possible to make something work but I don’t think you will approach the speeds that were possible the over metal.

You could rig up your router to throttle to 300bps if you feel particularly masochistic

Security though obscurity. Encrypt your data, encode your data within voice, encode the voice to data.

BBSes — There oughta be more BBSes on Gemini. I don't mean copies of this capsule, I mean actual BBSes (dial-in or telnet) that also have a Gemini frontend. Log in, check messages and new files, play a door game or two, check your favourite FidoNet echoes.
