That was my first thought when I saw "Juno" as well.

At the time, we didn't have local dial-up numbers so I used it very extensively. Standard Internet access was very expensive (and I was a young teenager so my parents were paying for it) so I subscribed to dozens of mailing lists and read them all off-line, dialing up to Juno just to send and receive. Most of my "downloading" in those days was facilitated by Juno and "ftp by e-mail".
