Re: The first "real", low-cost ISP for the UK
Yup, I'd used a few direct dial bulleting boards initially, but then got a Demon account, and was also on an Amiga.
Even wrote some AREXX tools to help with configuration of Amiga Miami TCP/IP stack, and for dialling in to Demon. I think these even ended up on Aminet at some point!
Seems strange these days to think an OS would need a separate network stack installing, and that this would be provided by a 3rd party, not the OS vendor!
