That'd be IITRI, IIT's Research Institute, not IIT Proper (the school),
who used a 360/40 to run their student timesharing (remote ASR33 TTYs)
in a DOS/360 foreground partition implementing the IITRAN language.
IIRC, it was a 128K machine. I don't recall what was on IITRI's 360/50.
Background was also available for student use via a 2501 card reader.
