One of the things about the book was that it finally confirmed for me what I had heard but thought might be apocryphal which was that one of my co-workers at Cisco (Charlie Klein) was the first one to receive a packet on ARPAnet. I guess it sent an "l" and then immediately crashed. They fixed the problem and the next time they got "login:". It also casts shade on another early well known person which gives me some amount of schadenfreude.On 10/20/21 3:26 PM, Michael Thomas wrote:Just as an interesting aside if you're interested in the history of networking, When Wizards Stayed Up Late is quite elucidating.+10 to Where Wizards Stay Up Late.I recently re-acquired (multiple copies of) it.
