LAN networking? OS/2 Warp had dial up internet access for IBM's ISP as
well as a SLIP dialer for other ISPs, when released in 1994, but not a
full TCP/IP stack until Warp Connect in 1995. I assume Unix, Linux,
AppleOS or AmigaOS must have had this prior to that? I remember all
those damn AOL floppy disks for all the windows users. FORMAT A: was a
good use for them.
"BUILT-IN" ? or "BUNDLED"?
such as terminal dialup to a Unix shell account and using FTP, gopher, and
later lynx
There was a LOT of internet access long before Windows For Wankers.
You've got a very reasonable question. But, with a subject line of
"first" computer on the internet
you will not be taken seriously.
Sorry.
Besides, everybody knows that AOL invented the internet on a Mac in HTML,
in 2000, in order to sell WWW porn, under orders from Meg Whitman. And
then Hayes invented the modem, and DOD based arpanet on the Fry's website.
CD-ROMs were invented for the sole purpose of preventing AOL from dropping
the bottom out of the diskette market.
