@evistre Later my best friend and I getting a "Unix shell access dial-up account with internet access" at a small local company, and convincing the owner/operator to install a SLIP daemon so we could try out "dial up internet". (Trumpet Winsock for me, native Linux 0.9 TCP/IP for my friend.)
I'm pretty sure we were the first people in Portland to get a "home internet connection" that wasn't provided by an employer.
