AS6086 INFOMAGIC

INFOMAGIC is registered to MagicNET, Inc, the operator behind InfoMagic Internet Services of Flagstaff, Arizona — a small independent ISP serving the northern Arizona region.

What it's used for

• Internet access for homes and small businesses around Flagstaff and Coconino County, plus some hosting for local customers.
• Its routed footprint is small and mostly provider-assigned: blocks delegated from Level 3 and CenturyLink/Qwest upstreams, alongside a 63.229.98.0/24 still registered with the netname USW-INFOMAGIC2 from the US West era.

Notable

• A genuine small-town ISP — a few thousand addresses total, the shape of a regional operator rather than a national carrier.
• A couple of the prefixes it originates are registered to unrelated third parties, so treat the exact inventory with some caution; the core InfoMagic-registered and upstream-delegated space is the reliable part.

Interesting

• ARIN dates the AS number to November 1995, part of a sequential run of genuine mid-1990s allocations.
• The InfoMagic name predates the ISP: in the early 1990s InfoMagic was known for pressing and mailing Linux and BSD CD-ROM sets, back when downloading a distribution was impractical for most people.
