with Universal APPNET Login to All Apps & Accounts
Username and Password Login to APPNET for multi account access bridge to user accounts & apps.
Created a Solution | Online ASP Applications
Our first idea was insurance. We created a firestorm so looked for alternatives. Students were the most tech literate and needed jobs. Successinc "Applications"
Build an ASP Server | Application Gateway
It was a challenging time as WWW did not exist. We needed to build a server that could deliver an application through UUNET using UUCP. SuccessInc "Gateway"
Build an App | First ASP APP1
The challenges only started when we realized systems did not share applications. We had to program a custom Usenet Reader & CPU System Bus called Minix App OS version 1.1. Successinc "APP1"
Engage the Users | In App Support Q&A
Online communities were called BBS. We provisionsed for APP1 Q&A. We used the ASP architecture with a Minix database for Shared Profile User Access & Data. It worked. SuccessInc "Community"
"The User would find APPNET “appnet” using uuname to list known UUCP sites on the network. Create an account or login and upload the files for individual Theme packages. The login would also provide access to the dial up BBS through the APPNET server using a shared Minix user profile and data store with bridge or shared access between modems and service accounts.
The commands allowed the user to find the information they needed. The commands were simple and worked within the Minix APP OS 1.0 we had created. The modem used scripts inside the APPNET profiles. This bridge was the beginning of cloud computing."
Internet Commerce Origins - The Beginning 1987-1994
It was 1987 and the internet was exciting and new.
We were building an internet server for our new services. Tim Bernes-Lee only proposed WWW indexing in 1989.
We pushed the limits of a bulletin board to online ASP services. Online corporate recruitment service and ASP were started in 1988.
The ASP Technology 1988-2001
Online corporate recruitment services needed a backend infrastructure not yet available. ASP was the solution. We were building the solution before the term was ever used. Milinx was almost decade away in 1988.
We worked on the framework for a viable commercial online portal with broad accessibility from 1997-1999 which became part of Milinx.
The Online Payment Gateway Solution 1997-2001
We needed a secure site that could be accessed by consumers, AssuredCard and AssuredCredit domains were registered in 1998 for launch of an online payment gateway.
During our years exploring the potential of online corporate recruitment we pushed ASP to the forefront. A backend solution accessible by all. ASP became Milinx.
