Our ISP featured our own spam resistant in house mail server and services ranging from basic dial up to dedicated circuits, ISDN centrex data service and DSL. In the later years of the company we pioneered the use of Wifi in an outdoor setting to provide what was at the time, fast dedicated fixed wireless internet to rural locations where there were no other options. We also used our wireless technology to feed apartment complexes which had no DSL options from the local telco. We used short haul DSL within these complexes to provide service to customers. ultimately we sold the company to the local ILEC telco.
