Reading this e-mail caused me to read up on the fuzzball, which then lead me
to this overview of the state of networking in the early '90s:
http://museum.media.org/eti/
In 1990 and 1991, I made three trips around the world to write a
technical travelogue. The result was the book "Exploring the
Internet", originally published by Prentice-Hall. Perhaps because
they felt the Internet trend had passed, or more likely because
of the less-than-mainstream appeal, they allowed the book to go
out of print. I decided to republish the book on the Internet in
the hope that perhaps it retains some minor historical interest.
So far I've got through about 6 chapters and it's a good read. I've made it
into an epub if anybody wants a copy.
Cheers, Warren
