Connect Ireland

Connect Ireland

An internet services company in Dublin, Ireland

Connect [http://www.connect.ie] began life as the TOPPSI ("To Operate by Providing People with Services and Information") BBS, a Fidonet node, in 1988 - one of the earliest in Europe [http://www.lawsociety.ie/Gazette/sept97.pdf] .

Connect started offering dial-up services in 1995, and late 1997 began hosting the .tp ccTLD, in support of Nobel Prize winners José Ramos-Horta and Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo.

The .tp ccTLD service came under cyberwar attack in February, 1999. [http://www.wsws.org/articles/1999/mar1999/hack-m03.shtml]
