Let's see, we can put in 3 big stations: one in an old mill in the Boston area, another in Arlington VA, and a third at ihnp4..

Explain, please. The first sounds like where DEC started out. Is the second MAE-East? And while I recognize ihnp4 as one of the central UUCP nodes I never knew what or where it was. -- Michael Dillon - Internet & ISP Consulting Memra Communications Inc. - E-mail: michael@memra.com Check the website for my Internet World articles - http://www.memra.com @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Michael, ihnp4 was a DEC VAX that was installed at AT&T Bell Laboratories at Indian Hill, in Naperville, Illinois. It was located in Building 6 on the 4th floor I think in E-aisle. Building 6 is the newer building behind the original collection of buildings at the corner of Naperville Rd. and Warrenville Rd. ihnp4 replaced ihnss. ihnss was one of the last large PDP 11/70s purchased at Indian Hill in Naperville in the late 1970s. I should know, I handled the SPA budget for it, and ordered it. It was a difficult decision not to buy a VAX at the time. We had to go with the proven PDP 11 because the VAX UNIX software was not stable enough when the orders were placed. We did research using ihnss. Phil Karn was new to Bell Labs and I encouraged him to take over ihnss when I left that location...I have not seen Phil since...when I returned to Indian Hill, ihnp4 was there...and Phil was gone...I assume that Phil somewhere along the line Phil convinced someone to convert it to a VAX...I suppose the increase in traffic was one of the reasons... I hope this helps to answer your questions about ihnp4 and also some of your questions about my association with AT&T... Jim Fleming Unir Corporation - http://www.unir.com
