[ih] ARPAnet maps?

[John Day]

No, guys.  ;-)

The ones you want are the ones that were produced by a program at 
NMC.  Does anyone remember what the well-known socket number at SEX 
was that one connected to to get a *current* ARPANet map indicating 
what hosts were up and down?

I think it went away when the map would no longer fit on a single 
piece of paper or not long after it had to go to a second page.

These others are just vague artist's renderings!  ;-)

Take care,
John
