1983???? Are you 100% sure about that I am almost 100% sure that it was alone longer than that. I can not be quoted on it but I am sure that it was in existence before that... OH I beg your pardon, 1983 is what the government will really admit to even if there are documents that show it may be older than that....

Might have been 82, find out when ARPA became DARPA and *only* worked on defense related material. The distinction was one of administration and not physical changes to anything other than some nameservers and routers. When the change happened it meant that ARPA could no longer participate as an equal with the NFS so they split the funding and administrative servers. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.
