I remember using Postmasters (PM2E) for router serial connectivity, good times.

Yeah, the ISP I founded in 1995 (elite.net) was a PM2ER for both dialup and routing with a Pentium 90 as the shell & web server. We quickly hit the 30 line limit and went up to the PRI-based Portmaster models. Fun and exciting times, just bringing a rural community online for the first time ever.

Oh yeah, the real Internet! We scaled up to an Ascend Max TNT with a DS3 before dial-up went south, ISDN stuck around quite a while though.
