[ih] ARPAnet maps?

[John Day]

Yes, there was.  As I said, I can't remember the number or when it 
disappeared.  (It was pretty early. You can't get many ASCII 
character boxes on a single sheet of paper.)  In fact, I even have a 
vague recollection of it being sufficiently popular that people were 
asked not to over use it.
