For your interest, this is an observation of the current size of the network internal to HP (Hewlett-Packard Company). We run an HP-wide internal mail routing data collection system. At last count (this week) there are 308 UNIX (mainly HPUX) systems known to be reachable inside the company, and probably at least 200 more concealed, largely single-user systems. Just to get an idea of the real size of the Net, I'd like to see responses telling many UNIX systems are connected inside other large companies, like AT&T, DEC, Tek, etc. Thanks.
