Very curious if others have memories of a service in the 80's called Portal. I recall using it in a few ways, one of which was UseNet and UUCP access. The host in this context was cup.portal.com (Cupertino, perhaps?) and appears in historical posts as "sun!portal!cup.portal.com!"

I'm also seeking history on "tronsbox", a host I used to relay for my Amiga-based, dial-up UUCP node: "uunet!tronsbox!alpine!"

Please relay to more relevant hashtags, too!
