	I believe you're right.  SDC was on earlier than I remembered; they
show up on the 1970 ARPANET map.  They dropped off the map, so to speak,
around 1977.  For the purposes of the historical research that led to this
discussion thread, SDC's participation is very pertinent.  I apologize
for misspeaking.

> Ari Shoshonan or something like that is a name that comes to mind.

	That would be Arie Shoshani, I believe.  He might provide additional
insights on the early LA-area ARPANET culture.

	I think (but am not certain) that my source of information on SDC in
the mid- to late-70's was Billy Brackenridge.
