Aug1976, TYMSHARE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tymshare
start offering their VM370/CMS-based computer conferencing system free
to the IBM mainframe users group, SHARE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHARE_(computing)

archives here:
http://vm.marist.edu/~vmshare

I had cut a deal with TYMSHARE to get monthly tape dump of all VMSHARE
files for putting up on IBM internal systems and network. Later when MD
bought TYMSHARE, the SHARE organization had to come up with a way of
rehosting the service.
