You reminded me, yes, my initial Compuserve account was a 7xxxx,xxx
style. ... Gosh that was forever ago.

In 1975 we got TSO at work and we could 'message', but it was local
only.  Around '78 was the first time I
saw Darpanet.  A guy brought a 1200 baud acoustic coupled 'electronic
teletype' to a computer club meeting.
We were in El Paso, and dialed into his work at White Sands Missile
Range.  We talked online to operators
at Stanford and MIT ... boy that was hot for back then!

That was back when TCP was new and IP wasn't there yet.
