At UCT, we (undergrads) had unrestricted Internet as early as 1992.
(Boy, was it slow!) Initially accessing from a VAX, I was given a
free linux shell account at a American ISP, to which I could telnet
(before the days of ssh!) and use more services.
The following year ('93), we (Computer Science students) were given
access to a unix server and encouraged to install linux (version one!!)
at home.
The next year ('94), Anthony Walker and I launched an ISP using just a
386 and probably 1MB of RAM :->
Regards,
Keith
