Re: jon postel

Jon was very kind to me when I was a wet-behind-the-ears network engineer. He once showed me around ISI and gave me an 
entire shelf of down-version Cisco manuals. I had a Cisco 2500 peering with ISI in a maintenance closet in the ISI 
parking structure. A single T1 let me run a few dozen Livingston modems for my nascent Jet.net ISP.
