According to Karl Auerbach via Internet-history <[email protected]>: >Sometime in 1980's, probably 1989 - I used a router on a PC platform >(MS-DOS I think) by Doug Karl for my home network. (I don't remember >any details about what the external link was - probably something that >hooked to ISDN BRI.) > >https://www.gbnet.net/karlnet/about/history.html In 1990 my first dedicated link was an old PC in my attic running PC-Route with Russ Nelson's packet drivers connecting thin Ethernet in my house to a Wavelan proto-wifi card. I pointed a yagi antenna out the window toward the back window of Steve Dyer's house a block away, where I had an old PS/2 similarly configured attached to his home LAN which was connected to a the local network coop in Cambridge over a 56K DDS line. Considering the level of ducttapeery, it was surprisingly easy to set up and worked well.
