Prior to digital unix, there was tru unix, (both for alpha processors) and prior to that was Ultrix (for vax processors)
Wasn't it Digital Unix and THEN Tru64 Unix when Compaq bought it?
It has been quite a discussion on who really was the first IP based ISP. Mozcom certainly claims to be the first, but in all honesty, Patrick Deakin and I recall that Portal Inc might have preceded Mozcom by a few months as well, via a dial-up SLIP to DLSU. The tech guy at that time was David Dizon.
well JED claims to have been connected in 1989 IIRC.
So that's a never ending story. It would be accurate to say though that mozcom was the first ISP with a real leased line. i mean, if you have SLIP.. are you an ISP?
although JED had MLPPP dialup to iPhil in 1997 (i'm sure Migs can recall this hehehe). that WAS an ISP.. i guess..
