I'm surprised how we got by. We had a 56K leased line to the internet,
and a network with shared hubs connected to a 4-port switch. We had each
department in their own collision domain, so you wouldn't have to cross
domains to talk to your department servers. 10 megabit.

But, back then mail was mostly text, and the web wasn't popular (yet).
Most of our internet traffic was gopher, news, and mail.
