In the early 1990s, NandO or Nando.net was one of the first Internet newspaper sites and a pioneering model for later news websites.

Inception

Nando PC badge
Nando was produced by the New Media division of The News & Observer newspaper in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1993 George Schlukbier[1], a news librarian from McClatchy Newspapers became the first New Media Director, hired by Frank Daniels III, editor of the daily paper, to build this new division. The core developers for this effort to prove the Internet was a better partner for newspapers than AOL or Prodigy, were Dave Livingston (nicknamed "Sleepy Squirrel"), Charles Hall, James Calloway, Alfred Filler, Fraser Van Asch, "Zonker" Harris, Mike Emmett and Schlukbier. This team built a GUI to the Internet using Major BBS as a front end, extended to use traditional Internet applications such as Gopher, WAIS, Lynx and Telnet. With this ad-hoc system, Nando.net provided classified news and became a commercial Internet service provider (ISP) in North Carolina's Research Triangle area, which encompasses Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill.
Technology
Networking

Nando 1993 - racks not full yet
In 1993 networking standards were not as pervasive as they are now. The newspaper publishing tools were based on proprietary networking cards and terminals used with a Tandem mini-computer. AppleTalk over coax cable was the way Macintoshs communicated. Windows 3.1 did not even have a network layer installed by default.
Into this mix came a Sun SPARC computer. Transferring data from the Tandem to the SPARC, required a common interface, and that interface was X.25. X.25, although developed for satellite communication, was one of the few standards actually implemented by most hardware vendors.
BBS Technology

Nando floppy with free software
Before the Web, most people accessed remote computers via dumb terminal emulators running on their PCs. BBS systems came in two flavors: DOS based and proprietary. DOS based systems required one PC and one modem for each incoming phone line. It was not uncommon for a BBS to have a hundred IBM PCs stacked up next to shelves of a hundred modems.
The advantage of the proprietary systems (such as GalactiComm) was that they used special software and hardware to handle more than one user on a single PC. The GalactiComm hardware supported up to sixteen serial cards, each with multiple RS-232 ports.
The GalactiComm software also supported the X.25 protocol, so there was a path between all the various systems, however circuitious it appears from today's perspective.
One last point, with the arrival of the World Wide Web, users no longer needed a terminal emulator (or a BBS), but they now needed a network layer for their Windows 3.1 PC. The Nando Help Desk was charged with stepping a new user through downloading the required TCP/IP network software via the BBS or floppy disk, then installing both it and a browser such as Mosaic... over the phone... and also explaining what the "web" was!
Why 'Nando'?
The News & Observer newspaper's nickname, "The N&O," gave the site its name, presented online as NandO or Nando, apparently after the newspaper's News Library staff pointed out that the ampersand would create difficultes in database construction and so coined the title of NandO, according to Teresa Leonard, chief librarian of The News & Observer. The electronic edition went far beyond the original content of the North Carolina paper, which eventually was shifted to a different Web address [at http://newsobserver.com] maintained by a separate staff.
'LHP' and 'CBGL'

Christmas gift to Nando staff
The leaders of this emerging phenomenon gave themselves imaginative titles, a bit of whimsy that set a whacky, free-flying tone for company atmosphere and morale. Frank Daniels III was LHP, for "Lord High Protector." George Schlukbier was CBGL, for "Chief Bull Goose Looney." Employees followed suit with their own job titles. As in other internet start-up companies, there was frenzied activity 24-hours a day, seven days a week. A company lore evolved, with numerous stories such as the one about installing system upgrades and dropping dial-up customers by the rack. Even the FBI were regular players. During the period when Kevin Mitnick was America's most-wanted computer hacker (1994-1995) he was living in Raleigh and using cell phones to hack into ISP's and then telneting into unsuspecting UNIX...(and so on)
