Passing this along for my friends at the Toronto Freenet. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: colocation downtown. Shared rack, non-profit price. Toronto Free-Net. Toronto Free-Net is moving its servers to bigger digs and can offer colocation in a *shared* rack, at the premier carrier hotel, downtown. TFN is a non-profit, so price is *extremely* reasonable. Starting at: 1 rack unit = $100 setup + $100/month +HST Contact Iain: * voice: 416 665 6259 * email: tfna-colo at the Toronto Free-Net (torfree.net) EOF -- Scott Sullivan

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.
