vga256<p>back in the early and mid-90s, getting on the net meant you were a university student, or had corporate access through a big company. getting online wasn't easy.</p><p>worse, even if you had a dialup number and login, there was no such thing as a tcp/ip stack built-in to Windows 3.1. </p><p>even if you *did* have a winsock stack, you'd still need a file downloading protocol, gopher client, world wide web client, ftp client, email client. just getting your machine off the ground was nearly impossible unless you could grab these from a local BBS</p><p>to make things simpler, universities began offering dial-up internet software packages to their students and staff.</p><p>in 1994, my mom was an undergrad student at the University of Alberta. our family had just bought an IBM PS/1 with a 2400 baud modem, and i was abusing the hell out of our single phone line at night visiting local BBSes.</p><p>she somehow found out that the university was selling internet dial-up software for $10 to students, and brought home the diskette pack with her. along with a USR Sportster 14.4k modem, she gave me the install diskettes as a valentine's day gift.</p><p>it had a slick setup program that enabled SLIP using Trumpet Winsock, and provided a local (free!) dial-up number for access.</p><p>after 25 years, i finally tracked down a few versions of those diskettes. i've imaged them and uploaded them all to IA.</p><p>the first version of the dial-up package in 1994 was called WinSLIP. it had no PPP support yet, but contained some really cool shareware internet utilities like HGopher and NCSA Mosaic. this would have been the earliest programs offered for Windows 3.1</p><p>WinSLIP/MSKermit 1994/95:<br><a href="https://archive.org/details/ua_winslip" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.org/details/ua_winslip</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>The second version of the software was renamed to NetSurf.
