[AusNOG] [LINK] [ISOC-AU-mems] Happy Birthday ... AARNet

[Narelle]

I think some of you guys are confusing ACSNet, CSIRONet and AARNet.

Big difference is uucp vs IP.

WIth AARNet in 89 we set out IP addressing plans and built network.

In ACSNet and CSIRONet things were nailed together via serial links
and uucp. I have a paper here on CSIRONet dating back to 71. Data was
certainly transferred, and messages sent, even chat and email on
ACSNet, but it was not IP.

IP networks, when done in _public_ equals Internet... AARNet was first
here in Australia...

But yeah - munnari spanned both, didn't it?
