I got kicked off Autobahn, an SF ISP, for doing _something_ (I don’t remember what) in their provided shell access. Simpler times of experimentation…

  I remember having to call Eskimo.com (Northwest ISP) tech support because I couldn't login to my shell account anymore. Turns out you shouldn't just copy+paste whatever you find online and shove it into your .cshrc.

    I'm pretty sure I remember talking to people on IRC who used eskimo.com as their ISP. I don't know if the company is still operational, but their website sure is! https://www.eskimo.com https://www.eskimo.com

      What a delightful website, the design is frozen in time. From the News section it appears they're still running - they posted an update on a router upgrade today https://www.eskimo.com/news/ https://www.eskimo.com/news/

        Heh, neat. They were all Solaris (SunOS?) back in the day.
