The Internet Adapter (TIA) was software created by Cyberspace Development to allow SLIP (and later PPP) connections over a shell account. Shell accounts normally only allow the use of command line or text-based software, but by logging in to a shell account and starting the TIA daemon, a user could then run standard GUI software such as Netscape Navigator on their computer.

Usage of TIA declined rapidly with the advent of inexpensive PPP-enabled consumer-level dial-up access.
