Hold a second. .. Toronto freenet still exists? ;) Dang. Freenets(cleveland, ottawa, Toronto )were one of the first systems I used.in <http://used.in> the early 90s
I also remember Freenet, though I wasn't a customer. IIRC, they had a POP at 151 Front St. W., when I worked there, over 25 years ago. That would also appear to be where that shared rack is located. My first ISP was io.org. Back then I had a static IP over SLIP dial up. I seem to recall they had some sort of not quite kosher connection with UoT, as the Internet hadn't quite become commercial yet. Back in those days, we had stuff like WAIS, gopher, archie, etc., as browsers weren't yet popular.
