Technology transfer: my business partner and I took what we learned
setting up and running the student-access Linux host,

a CLEC for many years. We sell 10 Gigabit fiber-to-the-home now...it's
a living.
That describes my first ISP. Two guys from UM with a server in the back of
a golf pro shop. You signed up, got a shell account, and a floppy with
TIA, Netscape, and Trumpet Winsock. It beat a dialup Delphi account
running over a 2400 baud backbone.
