CIX (Originally Compulink Information eXchange) is one of the earliest British Internet Service Providers. Founded in 1985 by Frank and Sylvia Thornley, it began as a TBBS ("The Bulletin Board System for TRS-80") system, but in 1987 was relaunched as CIX Conferencing. The system is based on CoSy ("Conferencing System"), though it has been heavily modified by succeeding generations of staff. CIX was one of the first commercial services to enable users to communicate over the telephone network. While initially users read the text-based CIX messages whilst online, the UK's practice of charging per minute for telephone calls led to the development of offline readers, programs that gather together all messages waiting for a user and downloads them en bloc for reading at leisure. The official offline reader, Ameol, which handles email, CIX conferencing, and Usenet and is freely available to anyone to use, was originally written by Steve Palmer in the early 1990s, first as a customer, then as a staff member. ...more on Wikipedia about "CIX"
