[HECnet] Network status

[Steve Davidson]

Phone V1 on VMS was a hack from the VMS MAIL utility by Paul
Agnostopolis (sp?).

Trivia question time...   What other X1/T1/V1 VMS Layered Product came
from VMS MAIL?

It may have been the other way around.   There were a number of DECnet
applications that started on VMS; Notes is one such.   I don't remember
Phone anywhere other than VMS -- so I can't be sure about the time line
for that one.

Phone is available on RSX-11. So it is safe to assume that the VMS
version got ported from RSX-11. Which dates Phone somewhere in the mid
70's, right?

Want any hosts added to the phone directory?

No, I actually prefer email.   I'm not really into the this whole
chat/texting/instant messaging/tweeting thing.     Guess I'm just old
fashioned.

But then I wouldn't be here on this list if I wasn't :-)
