@tomjennings “The domain name tlg.org is for sale!” At these prices, I bet someone wishes they had kept it.

@tomjennings Wow! I think that's cheaper than U.S. Robotics paid for my ISDN connection at home in 1996 while I was working there. And that came with a limit of 60 hours of connect time per month for a single 64k connection. USR paid for it because I needed the connection testing the USR ISDN (It Still Does Nothing) modem I wrote firmware for.

@NorwayJose Yeah we kept prices low. And we allowed you to resell your data! And get addresses to share! There was no downside except we were kinda hated but most isps.

@maiaLol I had ISDN in Los Angeles, 1996, and they never implemented the D channel business which is what I wanted to play with. @NorwayJose

@corruptian sounds about right. Of course, this was long ago -- no one had this service at any cost.And though it used modems it was not "dialup" -- you got a /24 address block!! And 24/7 connection. This put publicly available hosts on the internet, and we did DNS for you, or we'd secondary your primary bind server.In 1994 this was a revolution.
