Interesting. In 1993 the emerging NSFnet was not permitted to be connected to commercial entities. You must have had a special dispensation. That happened in 1995 as I recall...
Ted, Well, thinking about timing I'll acknowledge that you're correct. Between 1993 and 1997 I had a dial-up connection to Aracnet (which became SpiritOne before is suddenly shut down), and they provided mail service. In 1997 I defenestrated to Linux and set up my own mail server using postfix using ADSL until I had to find a new ISP. That was Verizon -> Frontier Communications -> Ziply Fiber. I don't recall when I had fiber installed, probably when Frontier was the ISP. Rich
