[ih] Quick Question

[Jorge Amodio]

I'm sure it was over 200, most probably10s of thousands.

Look for John Quarterman ACM paper "Notable Computer Networks"
I don't have at hand right now but John put together a great summary
networks during the 80's and may have some numbers.

If my memory is not failing the paper was published in 1986.

I'll dig later on my old history files to see if I find something.
