Eh? I'm fairly certain that both of our VAXen at Purdue-CS were online  
before and during flag day; one running 4.1c and one running Rob  
Gurwitz's 4.1 TCP... and both were running my in-host gateway, so our  
proNET and 10mbps ethernet were connected as well.

Maybe the VAXen at Berkeley had problems, but that's a different  
issue :-)
