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><br><span class=hoenzb>-- </span><br><br><span class=hoenzb>Regards,</span><br><br><span class=hoenzb>Gary</span></span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><br>Mark Delany wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Found this while cleaning out some old files.
