[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Naming the NIC

craig@NNSC.NSF.NET (Craig Partridge) (07/24/87)

Hey guys,

    There is a forum for these sorts of naming issues -- the namedroppers list.

    I recommend that any continued debate migrate to that list and will even
be so good as to resist the instinct to point out that the issue of how
to name NICs and NOCs was settled (I thought) over a year ago.

Craig:

Wrong.  The namedroppers list is for discussion of the design and
operation of the domain name system, not for the discussion of what
the names are or what names would be nice.
