Well, one IMP does not a network make... When did they connect the second one?

Dunno when they connected the second one, but #10 (Univ of Utah) was connected sometime during the academic year in 1970-71... That's when I was hired as a "research assistant" to implement some initial RFCs (like FTP...) Regards, Gregory Hicks
