Trumpet winsock. Connection via JANET links to USA were shite. Get your webbrowsing done before the afternoon when all the americans got up. after 2pm or so, no chance. No Google - had to use things like Yahoo (spit), Altavista (quite good for its day). Really hard to find stuff. Downloading anything big took hours/days. Home internet was crappy modem. Dialup tones. Flaky connection. Later, ISDN at 2 x 64kbits, always on. Seemed like paradise. Ran my own email server from home. Booted by Plusnet (the bastards). Went to Demon Internet.
