An interesting bit of Manitoba networking history from Curtis Coleman. Curtis mentioned he implemented multihoming at Pangea between MBnet and PSINet on May 8th, 1997. The following year he added connections to UUNET and Sprint Canada. Pangea was the first local ISP to implement multihoming. MBnet was multihomed between Bell and Sprint in early 1999.
