<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span lang="EN-AU">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.<br>
<br>
FWIW, my first computer was a Microbee ... no network capabilities there (and probably no networks to connect to either) :)<span style="color:#888888"><br>
