Haha awesome, I had nearly the same setup in '94-'95, I was in a small rural town for that year but my mom worked for the local college. It was a dialup into a VAX/VMS where the only thing I could do was telnet.

I remember playing a ferengi cadet at trekmuse 1701 and once stole a starship lol. Also fond memories of battletech mud & mtrek.
