DTC has been in the networking business since 1897 when we brought the first telephone services to the area. Our entrance into data networking was initially for internal use only, and (unlike many) started with wide area network (WAN) access and added local area networking (LAN) as PCs became more popular and prices fell.

Our first public data-networking project was our dial up bulletin board system (BBS) in 1994. In 1996 we partnered with Margaretville Telephone to form Catskill On Line and began providing dial up Internet access early in 1997. Since August 2004, DTC began providing dial up access service directly to those customers that were receiving their service from Catskill.net

DTC Networking installed our internal firewall / virtual private network (VPN) units in 1998 to connect 2 sites in New York and 3 sites in New Hampshire. Our first commercial firewall / VPN installation occurred in 2000. To date we have VPN nodes installed across southern New York.
