Yiannis along with Takis, arround 1990, were the main responsible for the implimentation of the Ariadnet project at the National Academic and Research Center at Athens Greece.
Returning from USA summer 1991, I wanted to get my hands on an account that had access to Internet. Spiros Liolis introduced me to Yiannis and Takis and the last two were more than happy to provide me with a guest account at leon.nrcps.ariadne-t.gr and at isosun.ariadne-t.gr.
The greatest news were that there was already a five-lines dialup service setup at that time and I was able to access Internet at 1991 in Athens from home at the tremendous speed (for those days) of 9600 bps!
Yiannis and Takis were the first two persons that really opened the doors of Internet here in Athens, Greece to people outside the academic community and I am greatful to them!
