Linux internet provider

[michael d hoskins]

Hmmm, Tyrell in 1991?  How?  The Internet was made open to the "public"
in 1992.  Before that, it was just for education, the military, and the
US Government.

I started with Tyrell in 1992, when it first came out, I think.  It was
still just a RoboBBS (I think that was the BBS brand name.)  Eventually
they moved from a "door" to a full-blown SunOS.

Before that, in 1991, I could only hook up to the 'net via SMSU, in
Springfield, MO.

Does anyone know what happened to Tyrell regarding the Attorney General
of Missouri?  Yes, I was one of those overbilled people.  Later, I was
one of those automatically resubscribed people, even though I told them
not to do so way in advance.

Okay - so more accurately - 15 or so years of using the net,
and 6-8 years of connecting through ISPs.  Who remembers, off
the top of their head - without looking it up - when Tyrell
started?  I say '93, but it could have been as early as '92
or as late as '94.
