[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] TCP in the UK

PETERS@nssdca.GSFC.NASA.GOV (Dave.Peters@SRI-NIC.ARPA, NASA/GSFC/NSSDC) (05/17/88)

I recently returned from a year in the United Kingdom where quite often
I would notice large signs saying "TCP AOK".  Rather than attempting to
sell new implementations of TCP/IP for your favourite BBC micro, the
adverts were for a topological disinfectant of some sort.  I wonder if
the active ingredient was that same TCP petrol additive...

Actually, I think that's TSP (tri-sodium phosphate)... it's used to
clean floors and walls and such.
