I’m also particularly interested in how you were able to choose whichever 3rd party provider for your Internet?
No idea if this will take off but it was puzzling me the other day, if you took the time to read this, thanks, and have a great one!

The phone line was just the method of connection. AOL was a service you paid a subscription for. You used a modem to dial into their servers and accessed the internet via their system. Other ISP’s worked in a similar manner. To the telephone system the call was indistinguishable from a voice call. Additionally, netscape was only a web browser (think edge or firefox), they never were an ISP to my knowledge.
