About Sirius Connections


What We Do.
Sirius Connections is an internet service provider serving the San Francisco and Oakland areas. We provide Internet access through PPP (Point to Point Protocol) accounts which are accessed by dialing into our modem pool or setting up a dedicated connection. You get full access to the World Wide Web, Usenet News, interactive games and anything that uses the Internet as its medium. We provide you with a email address so you can send and receive email as well as post articles to USENET newsgroups. With a modem (9600 bps or greater) and a computer running Macintosh OS, Windows 3.x or 95, OS/2 or a UNIX-based OS, you connect to us and run Internet based applications on your computer at home and are not restricted to any single software package.

Who We Are.
On October 1, 1994, Sirius Connections began to offer Internet access to the Bay Area. Since then we have grown considerably, widened our services, and established our community attitude about Internet access. Our philosophy comes from the belief that Internet service should be like a combination of your telephone, cable TV, and postal services. We want to get people connected to the Internet and then let them take control, not confine them to a shell account or a proprietary graphical interface. The idea is to do this as economically as possible and allow users to choose their own software, which is based on the operating system that they already use.

We are firmly planted in the South of Market area of San Francisco, across from the CalTrain Station at 4th and Townsend Streets. Our staff is built from people who have had long technical backgrounds in both computers and networking. Most of us have had between two and seven years of Internet experience, and have watched it grow into its base of 30 million users.

We offer direct Internet access in the San Francisco (415-284 prefix), San Mateo (415-577 prefix), and San Jose (408-567 prefix) dialing areas.
