probably need to date things a little and get a some perspective of where a
few of us are coming. Just to set a few lines in the sand. While
3Mb/s "xerox" ethernet has been around for about 5 years, the DEC/Intel/Xerox
Ethernet 10Mb/s spec was published Sep 30, 1980. Per RFC 801, Arpanet
was not officially schedule to switch from the old NCP to IP until Jan 1, 1983
(although a number of folks like me had been working with what would become
IP/TCP for 3-4 years before that). </DIV>

1981 and they went from "Link Control Protocol" to TCP/IP. Must've been wrong
then somebody was.</DIV>
