Most of Fusion today is hosted by Exodus. But we started five 
years ago at IQuest in Indianoplis. In fact, we still have 
one server there (if you see www2 in the URL, it's at IQuest, 
for example, our NW200 database).

Turns out IQuest's founder, Robert Hoquim, led a double life. 
His name was really John Paul Aleshe and he made an appearance 
on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list for shooting a Texas police 
officer and then fleeing arrest in 1986. He resurfaced as a 
computer BBS operator in Minnesota, where he allegedly defrauded 
other system operators. Then he changed names again and 
settled in Indianapolis, where he started IQuest. 

A roommate found him dead late last month, three months after 
he sold IQuest. Officials say it was a heart attack. IQuest's 
current owners say they had no idea.
