NNTP grew out of independent work in 1984-1985 by Brian Kantor at U.
! C. San Diego and Phil Lapsley at U. C. Berkeley. It is now in release
! 1.5, and includes support for System V UNIX with Excelan Ethernet cards
! and DECNET under Ultrix. NNTP was developed at U. C. Berkeley by Phil
! Lapsley with help from Erik Fair, Steven Grady, and Mike Meyer, among
! others. The NNTP package is distributed on the 4.3BSD release tape
! (although that is version 1.2a and out-of-date) and is also available
! from the various authors, many major hosts, and by anonymous FTP from
! ucbvax, ucsd, and gatech. Reader clients for VMS systems should be
! available soon. A TOPS-20 reader was developed by Dave Edwards of SRI
