The first ISP I got to work with was Portal, Inc. (previously named Binary systems) set up by Ben Litonjua and two of his friends. I think it might have been the second ISP in the country. Certainly it preceded Infocom by a couple of months. It used an AOL walled garden model and all the services were behind a firewall (and that became a problem much later).
Ben eventually sold the company (not sure of the details) and became a lawyer.
Then there was another ISP in Bangladesh....but that's a different country and a different story.
Kelsey: ouch, my memory may be faulty then. Maybe it was a gopher service. Or it may have been in one of my subsequent visits to CRC (post-1995). Sure looked like Lynx to me.
