Actually, 300 baud acoustic modems were in use when I first got online. And given that chats are still around and people are still trolling for virtual sex, the definition of troll is still the same. Nothing's changed as far as the definition of troll. It's not like the meaning as changed because it's no longer relevant. It's still as relevant today as it was then.
Now, the term we used for someone who came online to a BBS and attempted to disrupted it is WEENIE. And given that troll has to do with chats, I see no reason not to use weenie in place of the incorrect usage of troll.
