Please see Clifford Stoll's book The Cuckoo's Egg for a description
of tracking an intruder across various PSTN, PSDN and Internet providers.
I haven't seen a better description of the process.

And there were, what?, three US ISPs back then?

And when Stanford was getting hacked, where was BBN...
Answer: right on the Stanford campus, in Stanford buildings!

We don't have the same Internet architecture as we had
during The Cuckoo's Egg era.
