Ahhh the old days of Trumpet Winsock, Netscape and Terminal.. Back then it was a three horse dial up race between Ozemail, OnAustralia/MSN/Bigpond and Microplex in the retail channel selling access cards. <div><div><br></div>
Sean Howard gave me a payrise in the lift in my first week there (employee 23), an amazing experience! Although they didn't obviously invent the Internet Ozemail was a huge influencer in the development of the net.</div>

I clearly remember Malcolm Turnbul and Sean Howard's faces when they first saw the xylogics annex's with netcomm modems that Microplex had been using for months to provide slip and ppp when OzEmail provided an email only service and that was a good year after APANA was offering SLIP.<br>

Annoying... Any lurking jurno's after fact's if A quick google cant reveal the truth.<br>
