RSCS -- Remote Spooling Command Subsystem It started out as an IBM printer-driving system, was picked up for BITNET (which was originally almost entirely composed of IBM mainframes), and is now firmly entrenched there. Having never used an IBM, this is not gospel, but I've heard that you have to send files across BITNET (this might or might not include mail) with a "PUNCH" command -- a relic of the original punched-card implementation.
