Hello, My username is a beach town name in New Jersey, USA -- a name that I've used on the Internet since around 1996.

I'm fairly new to editing content on WIKIPEDIA but certainly have followed the site's success over the years. My educational background was in Architecture. However, since the early 1990's, my professional expertise has been in electronic communications. I was fortunate enough to have been one of the early modem network operators during the late 1980's and early 1990's, running a Bulletin Board service which allowed me to witness the boom of the Internet from an early perspective. I do remember the days when just about everything on the Internet was free including domain name registration via the InterNIC service.

My goal on WIKIPEDIA will be to add knowledge, and perhaps find links to helpful supporting information, for anything Internet access related. Most of my knowledge will be in the older modem dialup networks which includes analog cellular dialup, a feature known as Circuit Switched Data (CSD).

Today, I still run an Internet Access Provider company, primarily a modem dialup service.

If you, or any editor, have questions on content I edited or created, please contact me for clarification. I'll take the time to provide reference material or other links to confirm content.
