And, for the record, it's pretty widely acknowledge that "The World" 
(Barry Shein) was the world's first commercial ISP - offering shell 
access in 1989, and at some point started offering PPP dial-up 
services.  As I recall, they were a UUnet POP.

yep.  and uunet and psi were hallucinations.  can we please not rewrite
well-known history?

or are you equating shell access with isp?  that would be novel.  unix
shell != internet.
