The Australian Computer Science Network (ACSnet) was a store-and-forward network used to connect Australia's Universities to each other and to ARPANET.
In 1975, the Defense Communication Agency (DCA) took operational control and support, and over time split the ARPANET into research and military networks.
Review of projects at RAND when Uncapher was hired in 1950 through the early 1970s, such as JOHNNIAC, JOSS, a survivable national network, GRAIL (GRAphical Interactive Language), and some work related to the ARPANET.
He developed the first production PDP-10 32-bit address ARPAnet NCP for the WAITS operating system, and wrote or rewrote most of the WAITS ARPAnet protocol suite.
Michael Douglas Kudlick (December 8, 1934 - February 16, 2008) was a computer scientist and professor of computer science, most known for developing the file transfer and mail protocols for ARPANET while working for the Augmentation Research Center at SRI International, and later as a noted professor and academic administrator at the University of San Francisco.
In 1967 he joined the technology company of Bolt, Beranek and Newman, now BBN Technologies, where he helped develop the TENEX operating system including ARPANET Network Control Protocol and TELNET implementations.
When access to the particular MIT computer was removed in 1983, fellow CP/M enthusiast Frank Wancho, then an employee at the White Sands Missile Range, arranged for the archive to be hosted on a DECSYSTEM-20 computer with ARPANET access, accessible via FTP at simtel20.arpa, later known as wsmr-simtel20.army.mil.
During the 1980s, it was used for audio and video conferences across the ARPANET, and later evolved into the multi-processor BBN Butterfly computer.
