I remember an early network system called "Gremlink" which you could dial, and then dial another number. It would port you to the new number. Dial enough numbers, and you could be ported anywhere in the country, without having long distance charges. Gremlink may have had something to do with Telnet, but I'm not sure. |
Remember Fido net? It was an early form of email.
I ran a BBS at my house and one for the office. My first modem was 300 baud and you could read the text as it downloaded. Green text on a black background. I ordered jeans from Compuserve in 1984.
