ARPA Network Terminal System. I've got an ANTS logo panel on the wall at home. I know I have some photos of it online but I'm not finding them in the destruction wrought by Google on their old Picasa site. I remember the orange/red color combo made it really hard to photograph. I'll dig them up later and post a follow-up. There is some info on that system, as well as a lot of other PDP and minicomputing goodness, here: https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstream/handle/2142/32601/semiannualtechni93slot.pdf?sequence=2 j
