@Karlos:That would be a dial up connection never connecting to the actual 'internet' proper then?
Well my oldest memory is downloading various early DOS emulators for things like the Coleco and Atari VCS at komkon.org or something. Atmospheric Heights was an amazing introduction to the world of arcade roms too. And I think there was another site called The Dump for TG16 and NeoGeo roms.
Didn't bother with it at home until it was assigned flat rate monthly deal accessed via freephone 800 numbers some time in the mid to late 90s though years after we knackered out the floppy drives on the Sun workstations with Netscape.
It's a shame Commodore didn't grab this new goose laying golden eggs with both hands and make Amiga a nice out of the box internet solution. But then maybe like the Dreamcast it was just too early for it's time to work.
