Yeah, we were a "back of the computer store" ISP in a city of about 60k people. Big industrial metal shelf just full of external USR Sportsters and a rats nest of serial cables to the Postmaster. Plus a box to throw dead modems in, and a bunch of spare new-in-box modems for spares. We somehow had a good part of a T1 to our provider, and somehow we had frame relay connections to some of our business clients.
It was fun, though.
