one of the biggest problems doing the (non-SNA) internal network around the world was when (encrypted) links crossed national boundaries ... lots of push back from numerous countries around the world (even tho all these links were between purely corporate locations).
other trivia: at big cutover to internetworking protocol on 1Jan1983, they had approx 100 network nodes and 255 hosts ... when the internal network was rapidly approach 1000 systems (which it passes a few months later). old post with corporate locations around the world that added one or more network nodes during 1983: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006k.html#8 -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
