[ih] RFC 9293 on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

[john.nolan at firstmilenetworks.co.uk]

Ahoy,

I met Ole at Interop in Paris, 94 (if I recall correctly) so I have some
minor "skin in the game."  It seems to me that Ole deserves some recognition
for attempting to preserve such a valuable historical source.  The IPJ also
deserves a mention here and is where a book review on John Day's "Patterns,
etc" led me to me a rethink.

John

I followed the link, and, wow.  ConneXions is not available there.  It is
available VIA a link from there to a cryptic URL at Google Drive.

So a university has scanned in some key Internet history, and is now storing
it for public access only via Google Drive?  Not only is it a painful
interface (not having a Google account, nor enabling Google javascript nor
any Google cookies, I have still been unable to download nor read any of the
issues).  But more important, someday it will just go poof, at the
discretion of a company that cares only about monetizing your eyeballs, and
all that history will be lost.

John,

I have the the whole collection. Let me know where we can place it more
"openly" (The Internet Archive?) and I'll be happy to make it happen.

Copying Carl Malamud who knows about such things.
