Well, I've just finished extensive changes to Wikipedia's entry for CSNet:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSNET>
It would be great for folks to review it and fix any errors you see.

ps. I am quite sure that the entry's paragraph beginning "By 1981" has
incorrect details about who was connected and the number during the first year
but I don't remember enough to fix it.
For example, the first Phonenet site I brought up was University of
Pennsylvania. Ira Winston got MMDF running on a DEC VMS system, which was quite
an impressive and ugly feat. It motivated him to recast MMDF into a form that
was friendly to operating systems that had expensive process invocation. It was
called PMDF and played an important role. (See the genealogy chart).
