Web site hosting back then was pretty rough if you had to go through a commercial ISP to do it. Does anyone remember how much of a hassle it was to transfer hosting on a domain? Fill out a form, mail or FAX it (Network Solutions obviously didn't trust email), sometimes furnishing a copy of ID in case you had an uncooperative ISP. And because there weren't a lot of hosting services (and competition), there could be some real a**holes to deal with. But that was only because I was coming off of Compuserve--and I'd been sending and receiving Usenet email there since about 1989. If you were a Microsoft developer back then, CIS was almost a necessity-- it was the only way to get any sort of a timely answer to a question easiest way to get your VxD ID from Microsoft. Lynx dates from about 1993, doesn't it? Cheers, Chuck
