UUNET. The most expensive ISP there ever was, long before there were
ISPs.  Actually it was uunet!gsm001!<user name> but I thought that
was obivous. Obviously it was not.

gsm001 was a 386sx16 running Esix 3.2 later upgraded to a 386/DX33 running
Esix 4.0, but by that time no one used uucp paths, but I was still using
dial up uucp.

Out of that were several systems, including gsm002 (a 286 running coherent),
gsm003 (a BSD machine that took over the 386SX when I got the DX) and
I forwarded mail for a few people to other machines.

There was also a 3b2 for a time.
