Yes, it was old days for sure, not sure about the ‘good’ part, but twinsock certainly gave those of use poor Windows 3.1 users a taste of what a real internet connection was like from our dumbed down shell accounts… Then again it was fun having compiler access on a shared environment hogging up /tmp space, and once we learned about screen exceeding the amount of simultaneous logins on Ultrix!

I don’t know if kids of today could even cope with sharing a computer.

PPP on my home computer when all we had was dial-up to the university’s UNIX system. Just don’t click on anything until the entire page loads or the thing would crash. Good times.
