There are lots of ISPs that don’t suck


FblQ00Ho

That was my first ISP password assigned to me from San Jose based ix.netcom.com (Also the city I was grounded a month for running a $926 long distance bill calling into BBSs to play trade wars and the pit)

But the best ISP I ever had was a 56K dial-up in Seattle. To play Diablo.

I am looking to build an ISP.


It's like setting up a giant LAN party, but for grown-ups, doing serious grown-up stuff.


I feel old having to hear netcom.com explained.


If you know my social and this netcom passwd, you may know my secrets...
