????: First LAN connected to the ARPANET
These dates are going to be difficult to pin down - was it the PARC "gateway" to Xerox's internal PUP Internet? A connection to the MIT CHAOSNET? Did this connection have to be via IP, or did protocol translating gateway count? I know that I connected the Purdue CS 10Mbps ethernet and proNET to our IMP in 1982 - both via the BBN-supplied IP gateway code that ran standalone in a pdp-11/34, and my own in-host gateway that ran inside the 4.1c kernel (Sam Leffler thought I was crazy for doing that). But I'm pretty sure that I wasn't the first to make such a connection. I distinctly remember discussions about proNET with one Mike O'Dell of LBL...
????: CSnet linked to the ARPANET
CSNET was always linked to the ARPANET. Again, what date would you like to observe? I might be able to dig out when we (Purdue CS) got our CSNET-sponsored IMP installed - probably mid- to late-1981. There were... four? UDEL, where I was ran the mail relay and had a CSNet sponsored IMP I
MP connections sponsored by CSNET, but not all of them were new hookups (UWISC was, ours was, certainly RAND's wasn't). Purdue's role was, largely, to get the IP-over-X.25 code working, and the majority of the high-speed-desiring CSNET members were expected to wait until it did.
