Does anyone remember their first access to real internet?

Yes. When I went to college in Philadelphia at Drexel University. September 1991. I connected through a Wyse terminal (not sure which model) into an IBM-3090 (not sure about the model). This is where I sent my first internet e-mail to my sister who worked at Microsoft and a friend who worked at AT&T. I also believe that I played MUDs on this terminal. It was quite exciting going from dial-up modems to hardwire connected terminals to the internet.

I mean my first access was in CUNY at school, but after that I got a slip account ar Dorsai. I had an Amiga 500 around this time
