Replication was huge, we didn't even have an internet connection when I setup a application replicating between three suppliers and a bank.

Yeah, when I first started to use Notes, using modems over POTS lines to call HQ was still a thing, so that replication was a big deal.

Hell, I don't even think all laptops had ethernet ports back then either. In a lot of cases, you had to buy PCMCIA cards for that.
