I used to administer SS7 networks, so out of band signalling isn't unfamiliar to me.

Even FTP separated control from data on different ports way back when before NAT and dumb firewalls made too many admins gimp FTP.

There were even some decent TLSed FTP implementations for those whining about it being plaintext, but the whiners were impossible to please apparently?

I can't even imagine the Internet becoming what it grew into without anonymous FTP daemons.

HTTP(s) has been popular but IMHO, not a net win (apologies for the pun).
