Division 6 did not become BBN Communications Corporation. Rather, the 
existing BBN Computer Corporation became BBN Communications Corporation 
and the part of Division 6 Bob Bressler was leading moved to the renamed 
company Communications Corporation.  The more research part of Division 
6 including people like Alex McKenzie, Craig Partridge, and Steve 
Blumenthal remained as Division 6 along the more traditional R&D 
projects; perhaps fewer people went to BBN than Communications than 
stayed in BBN's Professional Services Group, a new name for what had 
been just BBN.  A year or two later, this group became BBN Systems and 
Technologies, and around then Divisions 4 and 6 were merged into one 
division (with definite approval the ARPA IPTO people from whom we got a 
lot of our work).
