Hi! Something random and low priority… does anyone know of maps or lists of early UUCP nodes, particularly in the Boston area? Recently I was explaining to someone about bang-path addressing for messages and I was trying to remember the UUCP address I was giving people back in the day. I remember it was “mit<something>!mv!srbci!ldy”. I think maybe it was “mitvax”? (I was part of a small consulting company in southern New Hampshire in the early 1990s that was connected to “MV Communications” that was in turn connected, I think, to a node at MIT.) I spent a while searching the web and even plunging into the comp.mail.maps archive in Google Groups… and couldn’t find anything readily available today. I mostly found various messages pointing to sites that are no longer around (or found sites with links to sites that are gone). Anyway… just curious if anyone knows of such a map or list purely so I can fill in a mental hole in my memory. 🙂 (Of which there seem to be more as time goes on..)
