People would telnet in to it from DOS machines on the campus network but it was great sitting in front of the machine with a huge 17" color monitor and multiple terminals.
- mistrial9 4y agothere was an AIX setup at UC Berkeley campus around 1987 with that big monitor.. a glimpse of the future in a way; thinking of it now, maybe primary authors were in contact with the grad advisors or something .. networking was more specific in those days, so hard to tell from the outside what the deals were..
