one of the bigger problems was telneting between VAX and UNIX systems. there was content back then, but no curation. we would telnet from one machine to another using CLI. the reward was a wall of ASCII highly formatted with extended fonts. you could lurk in the login areas trying unix-fu or find a mud or a BBS. there was always tin for reading usenet as a method of content search. there wasnt so much content fiefdom, you could share links or post content with little oversight except numbers of attendance.
