Remember "Het Net"* as it was before they proxiet to the real internet. Users expected the internet and after a while, they got it. -- Sabri please do not throw salami pizza away * "Het Net", translated as "The Net" was an attempt by the dutch national telco in the late 90's to come up with a big intranet where users could dialup, using RFC1918 addresses and visit community and commercial sites. After a few months, proxy-support to the real internet was added and even later it was integrated into Planet.nl, a dutch dsl-isp.
