They were a small government contracting company (belt-way bandit for those in the Washington DC area) with contracts having to do with the running of IBM MVS data centers. The NSF contract was "won" like any other. I am sure there are reading of this list that could supply more (ancient) history. On Wed, 22 Aug 2001, Mike Batchelor wrote:

What did NSI do before they got the NSF contract way back when? Did they actually have a line of business that did not rely on the registry, at some point in the distant past (prior to the Chixulub impact)? Or was the company formed just to service and exploit the NSF contract? --- Computers hate being anthropomorphized.
