A lot of systems spanned more than one network. The three major systems
at the University of Adelaide were augean, smokey and sirius. All were
on ACSnet and AARNet.

Didn't munnari use trailblazers prior to AARNet to connect to decvax
and/or uunet to collect usenet?

Also I recall Geoff's usenet news system for VMS! I think most of our
bandwidth must have disappeared just shuffling around usenet :-)
Fortunately Mosaic was still a few years away.

Mark.
