A couple of months ago, some articles posted to the net talked about plans to upgrade the Arpanet (called it DDN) transport back-bone to more state-of-the-art computer communications equipment. There was one rather long article describing the details, including the govt's desire for ... - packet transport, no value-added (eg X.25) - T1 backbones, circa 1990 with upgrades to higher backbone trunks (DS3) after a couple of years - single equipment and software vendor - single network management and administration Can someone send me this old article and/or fill me in on the current details. I think I remember this upgrade being in the planning stages when the article was posted. Thanks. Bernard Fecht ihnp4!ihuxz!bwf AT&T Bell Laboratories, Naperville IL (312)-979-3856
