I used to play Quake 1 on an xs4all server I found on Qspy from the US. Have not heard that name since the mid 90s.

Yep, they also hosted game servers until ten years ago or so. Also IRC I think, maybe still do.

They have nodes in EFnet and QuakeNet and had one in IRCnet back in the day.

Doesn't strike me as odd, here in Spain most major ISPs had a stake in the national IRC network, back when latency mattered and IRC was a selling point.
