We like to give customers a soft landing when turning

for good shell providers, places like Panix.

That concept mostly went away 30 years ago with free Unix-like operating
systems that run on low-spec consumer hardware.

"bare-bones" for the users I'm thinking of.  Some of
them might be able to transition to being a system
administrator, but a lot just want to run tin, pine,
mutt, irssi, tf, and so forth.

To access some remote shell account you need a machine
that is internet connected and can run SSH. That machine
can just run a freeware OS with all the above packages.
