Back in the day, my highschool had two classrooms with computers, but they were not connected to the internet. For that, there were two (for a school of ~1800) computers in the library that you could reserve for a 15m block. They both had a 14k4 modem to dial in.
Interestingly, all of these computers were wired to a LAN. It didn't take long for me to install a proxy server on one of the library machines, allowing me and my friends to use the internet in the computer classrooms.
At some point the system administrator (who was also a German teacher) saw us browsing the web. Instead of getting mad, he just laughed and offer to pay me a bit of money to properly set this up for everybody.

Good times!
