Would "old timers" that ran older networks (such as ARPANET or BITNET) count too ? from the answers it seems that no network operations existed before "the Internet" - of course the networks were _much_ smaller but IMHO 9.6Kbit/sec backbones must have had other challenges - right ?
There was an ARPANET network operations center @ BBN. Craig
