There is some 'discussion' as to whether Microplex or <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://connect.com.au">connect.com.au</a>
were the first commercial *IP* providers in Australia (circa
1992/1993) - as distinct from email </div>

As I remember it when I connected Microplex Cisco AGS via a Telecom
Microlink to a T/A at 64k to the netblazer at .SU Microplex
connected to port 2. Port 1 was already allocated and connected to
connect.com. (well the TA displayed CD) So to my mind connect.com
was first we were second. However we only provided shell accounts
for the first few weeks before i wrote the shell scripts on the SCO
box that started slip sessions allocated IP's etc. So im a bit
unsure who sold the commercial IP accounts first. It was within
weeks of AARNET providing connections to the first as they called
them then "Affiliates" <br>
<br>
Chris how long after you connected did you start selling. <br>
<br>
To my mind it was allays connect.com by a nose.<br>
