It was pure and simple back in my day, it was like the net we have now only people actually used there own computer as there own personal net system, and they had there own sites that you could go on and all that and you didnt need to pay anything.
All was basically hooked up to the phone systems. And all you had to do was dial in to that number and you where in, you know like playing a PC to PC game like we have now.
For example, you and I have our own puters and we only wanted to chat or play a game with each other with out any interference, all we would have to do is dial up to our puters and there you have it, complete privacy to our selves.
Hell with all the intelligent folks we have here, we can make our own underground net system and be done with paying to big corps.
Maybe someone else could explain it better then I but that is the gist of it..
