This brings back memories. I remember marveling at this with my best friend when it came out. I got into BeOS around the same time.
I used to use those ad-supported dial up ISP’s and found one that worked with a standard PPP dialer so I didn’t need their software. I remember carrying around the QNX disk and login info so I could get online with basically any computer.
