What with three books available or soon to be on TCP-IP, take note in the latest Black Box Catalog... TCP-IP is now available via mail order. Diners Club International, Carte Blance, Master Charge, American Express and Visa accepted! From a PDP-11/20 via a Very Distant Host connection to SRI from Vint Cerf's Lab at Stanford to a mail order house & just about every plastic charge plate. TCP-IP has (almost?) become a consumer item. Next stop.... Radio Shack? Geoff

Craig, I think you mean Cerfboards, not decoder rings. These can be used to escape alligators in the swamps, entangle sausage nets and even fry fuzzballs. Vint can tell you TCP is a mouthwash sold in Britain and what cooks in a bakeoff. Nevertheless, I don't think any of the older buzzards in the Internet coop ever thought you could buy TCP-IP with a credit card, much less a Cerfboard. Lest we forget Premier Buzzard Bob Kahn, you should know there is a pawnshop in Wellington, New Zealand called the Kahn Store, where you just might find a better bargain. Dave

I've lived in Wellington for the last 20 years and hadn't heard of this store. Just checked the phone book and discovered that it did exist, but Kahns the pawnshop (actually a TV repairman) has closed down (It is now an Antique shop). You will have to try somewhere else. Of course they may always have an NCP implementation---but you know how expensive Antique shops are! ;-) mark -- Domainised: mark@comp.vuw.ac.nz Bang form: ...!uunet!vuwcomp!mark
