My first computer gig in '95 we were running WFW and DEC Pathworks to get to the VAX. Later I added NetBEUI so the WFW machines could talk without going through the VAX. QEMM was required to get all the network stuff in high memory so there was still room to run Wordperfect and Quattro Pro. Eventually I took everything to TCP/IP. When I finally was allowed to install a connection to the Internet I used a dial-up box (NetRamp, I think) with an internal modem in it and two ports for external modems, one of which had a modem. The two modems could be dialed into the same ISP and "bonded" to provide a bigger pipe. Two 56k modems actually worked pretty well. The dial up could be initiated by any authorized PC on the network.
Had to retire the VAX before 2000 as everything in it was written in Dibol and those that knew Dibol figured that it wouldn't like the change in date format. I had an NT domain in place by then and a new ERP program and a guy that was working on having the Powerhouse data from the VAX dumped into a .csv file that he could massage into shape to dump straight into the Progress database running the new ERP. He actually did a great job with that.
