Yes, via a front-end PDP-10 running Tenex, but only after it moved to Ames in
1972. See RFC-330, April 1972, "Network Host Status", where it shows up as
host 0/15.

It was listed in several issues of "Network Host Status" prior to that, but
always as 'not conected yet'. The original plan was to apparently to connect
via its B6500 front-end, but they switched it to be a PDP-10.

(Oddly enough, it was originally listed as being host 0/13 in RFC 288 -
perhaps this was a typo? That RFC also shows Case as being 0/13... IMP 13 was
later the Gunter IMP.)
