[ih] TCP/IP routing

[John Levine]

According to Karl Auerbach via Internet-history <karl at iwl.com>:
>Sometime in 1980's, probably 1989 - I used a router on a PC platform 
>(MS-DOS I think) by Doug Karl for my home network.  (I don't remember 
>any details about what the external link was - probably something that 
>hooked to ISDN BRI.)

In 1990 my first dedicated link was an old PC in my attic running PC-Route with
Russ Nelson's packet drivers connecting thin Ethernet in my house to a Wavelan
proto-wifi card.  I pointed a yagi antenna out the window toward the back window
of Steve Dyer's house a block away, where I had an old PS/2 similarly configured
attached to his home LAN which was connected to a the local network coop in
Cambridge over a 56K DDS line.  Considering the level of ducttapeery, it was
surprisingly easy to set up and worked well.

R's,
John
