This conversation also reminds me that what I really should is simply reach out to Mark Mallett, who used to run MV Communications, and ask him! 💡I do have some contact info for him.

,,, direct connection for the win! I was able to connect with Mark Mallett who at the time operated MV Communications, a small ISP that did a HUGE amount to knit together the early Internet community of south central New Hampshire (“MV” = “Merrimack Valley”, a region in southern NH).

Mark confirmed the information Greg had found. The upstream connections from MV were “harvard" and “decvax”, so if my memory had a “vax” in it, my UUCP address I was telling people was probably “decvax!mv!srbci!ldy”.

Thanks, Jaap, John Levine, Greg, and Bill for helping … and in providing some links to a trip down memory lane.

Thanks,
Dan
