Panix (ISP)

Panix (ISP)

Panix is the third-oldest ISP in the world after NetCom and the World. Originally running on A/UX on an Apple Macintosh IIfx, Panix has gone through a number of transitions as the Internet has grown. It maintains a vibrant community of shell-users and posters to its private panix.* USENET newsgroups. Panix also hosts regular get-togethers for fellow Panixistas [http://www.panix.com/panix/vote.html] in Central Park.

Panix was started as a commercial venture to fill the void created after New York City's primary USENET connected public access system (which was donation supported), The Big Electric Cat, ceased operations.
