Yep, me too...
My first access to the internet was via an insecure dial-up provided by a local crown corporation for its employees. There was an open telnet gateway, presumably intended for local login to machines on their WAN, but which worked for the general internet as well. Must have been around '92 or '93.
I ran my share of BBS's too; in fact, the last incarnation is still perfectly frozen in time on the 105 MB hard disk of my Amiga 500 which is still collecting dust. One day I just decided to turn it off.
