[AusNOG] Blast from the past - 1994 connect.com.au brochure

[CAS Support]

Thanks for prompting the trip down memory lane :). In 1994 I like to 
think I was an 'innovative cobbler'. I'd been running a dialup BBS 
(Maximus/OS2) for some years and toying with linux since beta. What I 
ended up with was a system where people would dial in to the BBS with 
Trumpet Winsock and the modem script would open a terminal session on 
the linux box which would fire up Slirp and give them a SLIP link. We 
started with a G-Tek 4 port serial card and ended up with a 64 port 
external serial something or other before we switched to ISDN in the 
late 90's.

FWIW, my first computer was a Microbee ... no network capabilities there 
(and probably no networks to connect to either) :)
