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!

Stumbled on another Portal document while exploring PC-Pursuit search results. This one is Amiga-specific and rings some bells in my memory as well (having been an Amiga addict through much of my childhood and into my 20s):
