Incomplete

edit

Mr. Yeager is correct but not complete. Other software was also written for these nodes, although that should probably be covered in the SUN workstation article. For example, the V system. This article should probably talk about the Network itself more (e.g. Arpanet was connected, via gateway), as opposed to the boxes. I was involved in the project and knew Bill Yeager (hello if you are still around!) but should be able to dig up some neutral refs. For that matter, the SUMEX-AIM project where Bill Yeager worked might make a good article. I found it referenced in the Timeline of artificial intelligence and Edward H. Shortliffe articles. Also, I remember the SUNet (or spelled SU-Net) name back in the 1980s, but do not remember calling them "blue boxes" since often they were just dull gray, or not in a box. A research lab has lots of ugly looking stuff! W Nowicki (talk) 03:32, 21 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
