This is an excerpt of recent private email regarding the recent proliferation of NAPs-with-no-customers. I'm forwarding it here so that when everyone has a NAP in their trunk y'all can remember where the original concept came from. ---Rob ------- Start of forwarded message ------- Date: Thu, 17 Oct 1996 23:52:31 -0400 (EDT) From: "Robert E. Seastrom" <rs@bifrost.seastrom.com> So anyway, if just announcing it is the only thing it takes to make a NAP and you don't don't even need any customers, let me be the first to announce the VA ZPE-7392 NAP -- the first mobile IP peering point. We are a little short on colocate space now, since there is some junk in the back of my Bronco II, but if there is sufficient interest I can probably put the spare tire in my U-Store. All colocated equipment and networking gear must run on 12v DC, negative ground. ------- End of forwarded message -------
