Re: what about 48 bits?

To be fair, everything for a vax was somewhat pricey. And slow.

On an even more unrelated note, does anyone remember the day that CMU-TEK tcp/ip stopped working some time in the early 1990s? That was a load of fun.

What made it stop working? I was the guy to blame for the IP/TCP/UDP parts of "CMU-TEK" and had long since left CMU by the mid-90s. Dale Moore (still at CMU last time I checked) did the applications. --Vince
