Good thing all this is getting archived - it's cool to know some of what was happening out in the trenches back then. My IGS had a sticker on it that said, "Property of Stanford University". It was the router that UUNET placed at the now non-existent eit.com (Enterprise Integration Technologies) and came bundled with a massive rackmounted Cylink csu/dsu. The folks at Cylink thought that I was on crack when I called about a manual for it - the woman on the phone didn't even realize that Cylink had ever made them. Even better was when we changed providers to geo.net and tried to get UUNET to come pick up the router and csu/dsu. They were decidedly not excited about having it back in their inventory and refused to come and take it back. Anyway, it's hard to say who won the most points... most people got the GI reference and nearly everyone who responded privately had worked on rev's much older than what I have - ack! even version 6.x! Thanks to all for the thread. -Paul LANtinga Q9 Networks.

Mumble... The nice folks at UUNET didn't really place a university-owned IGS there, it was actually came from EIT/CommerceNet's initial ISP (and title did pass to EIT when they later switched). /John p.s. Be happy it wasn't a CGS with a wirewrapped 1E1S...

You are in a twisty maze of RTs, all slightly different... --bill (who still has a running MGS... :)

Oh come on, Bill.. Move into 1994 at least.. :-) Next thing you'll be telling us is that this MGS is acting as the gateway for a VAX 11/780 and a Sun2. -Wayne

I need something to route the Chaos protocols... :) (leftover symbolics machines... :) 3 points for knowing which was the last IOS rev that supports Chaos protoocls. The old hardware is (mostly) in storage. (microVAXen, Sun1s, and my pride&joy, an IBM 3033 (missing the 400Hz MGs & chillers) & a couple of IBM 5150s) Bonus points for knowing at least two other 5150 references... --bill
