[Dshield] P.S. Re: Your father's internet

[Tom]

Na.. Too young... ;-)  Closer if you remember the following....

You remember DDP 224's? Those were the ground computers (24 bit) that 
ran launch the sequences to go to the moon.  Or a Raytheon computer 
(forgot the number) whose main memory was a drum? Or the IBM 7044/94, 
1401, 1620...

As for comm, how about RJE via 1620s and 1401s using bisync over a 
specially conditioned (and expensive) 9.6kbps line to a S/360?
