Argghhhh! "Bdale Garbee" was the first magic incantation I discovered
after thinking to myself that this Phil Karn character was a genius ...
Please don't remind me of just how long ago that was! :-)

And many thanks for those distributions, belatedly, to the two of you. I
hacked around that NET code to give Swansea Uni ElecEng PCs their first half
decent TCP/IP links to the local computing centre. That was years and years
before Alan Cox turned up in the Welsh valleys. For those early days, it
was excellent stuff in its own right, not just for amateur radio.
Ermm, ...
This is appalling, chaps. Are we all sliding into nostalgia? Or, is
it allowable once every 10 years? ;-)
Rich.

>Would anyone read it, if I did?
Bdale,
You bet I would.
After the long evenings of hacking net and BM (HA! you thought you could get
away without those two letters being mentioned again.....) it would be very
interesting to read something that pulls the bits and pieces together.
The Sacramento, CA TCP/IP network came together during that period of time. I
got zip files FTPed from Mike Cheponis in the Bay Area to me in Sacto. It was
a
weak connection, but it made it.
I also learn a TON about TCP/IP from those experiences, which gave me a
considerable career edge and a jump start on a Master's Degree in Computer
Science. When my managers and instructors asked where I got my understanding
of
TCP/IP my answer of Ham Radio caught them by surprise. I also got some hero
points by tossing together a PC with NOS to provide a makeshift gateway. This
kept us on schedule with a customer project until the product developers could
get us a software fix. Boss was impressed.
There are bunches and oogles of stories out there. It would be great reading
to
find them and put them into one document.
So there. :-)
