was very specialised in 1995 tho
my access route was via an org called APANA (australian public access network association) who i learned about from an anarchist bookshop that had a pc with an email client (pine, probably) connected up to the "anarchylist"
idk if the archives of it still exist but i was on it, back in 1995
just finished highschool the year before, and shortly after landed in the psytrance scene
