Hmm. I always thought the unix tip command was a reference to tip and ring of phone line pairs. This sounds more likely... Something for Peter Salus... Around 12:36 PM 10/19/1999 -0700, rumor has it that hardie () equinix com said:TAC as in tacacs?Yep. The original TACACS specification was in a BBN technical memo, CC-0045; RFC 1492 contains an informal specification of the extended version that Cisco implemented. The background section of RFC 1492 gives a bit of the history: Background There used to be a network called ARPANET. This network consisted of end nodes (hosts), routing nodes (IMPs) and links. There were (at least) two types of IMPs: those that connected dedicated lines only and those that could accept dial up lines. The latter were called "TIPs."
i think TIP stood for Terminal Interface Processor, and IMP stood for Interface Message Processor. -- Henry Yen Aegis Information Systems, Inc. Senior Systems Programmer Hicksville, New York
