MMore precisely, the question I believe we were discussing was
"Who (what organization/site) was the first to offer end user
shell accounts on systems with IP access to the Internet (modulo
all them NSFnet, AUP and pre-CIX reachability issues :-( )
to private individuals, without 'membership requirements' such
as being an employee, student, etc?"
And the answer is "The World, run by Software Tool and Die"
"Uunet" is the answer to a lot of other questions. Not all, but many.
