Good stuff.

I have a correction, however.

Our node at the U of Utah, when it first came up on the net, was running a
DEC 10 system prior to TENEX. I forget the name of the OS, but it was DEC's
plain vanilla PDP-10 time sharing OS, as modified by us. We did network
code development on that system. I don't believe we got a copy of TENEX
before 1971.

[My piece of that network code on the original PDP-10 system was the
interprocess communication mechanism and pseudo-ttys.]
