Alan, You might want to post this request to the Multics Newsgroup (*>comp.os.multics). If I were still with Honeywell I know I could probably scarf up a tape or two with the data... that would be my first lead... can be done... let me think more Marc disc: replied to NANOG to jog the memories of some of the older generation ;-) On Wed, 15 Jan 1997, Alan Clegg wrote:

I hate to do this, BUT...
I am doing research for a court case that has pretty serious ramifications. See <http://www.gateway.com/release.htm> for more info.
I am looking for proof (USENET postings, ancient maps, or even private e-mail) showing my use of the UUCP node name 'gateway' prior to 1989.
Unfortunately, I do not have the 'original' submission for the registration of the node, and the current maps only show date of last update (1990 when gateway.com was registered).
If anyone has documented use of the UUCP node name 'gateway' from that era, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know.
Many thanks, -abc, offering a free 9-Track tape of 'mod.sources' dated 1987 to the person that finds the first proof. | Alan Clegg The Internet is not for sissies. [paul@vix.com] | Network Guy | gateway.com, inc.
