- gerdesj 3y agoMy first experience of the internet was telnet from Win 3 box to a X.25 PAD and then telnet to something JANET (UK) then something US based (NSF I think) and fire up Gopher or WAIS. Later my boss asked me to look at this web thing that he had heard about. I fired up telnet and eventually found an on ramp to CERN. To me it looked rather like everything else but I'm not exactly a rocket scientist! https://www.w3.org/History/1992/WWW/FAQ/WAISandGopher.html https://www.w3.org/History/1992/WWW/FAQ/WAISandGopher.html
