About the same time for me, may have been a 286. I remember fiddling with init strings and Trumpet Winsock. It wasn't really the interWEBs then. The web was a small part of the experience for me. USENET, email, FTP, Archie, gopher with a splash of www for flavor. -- Jay Hennigan - jay@west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV
