At least it was when I last used it sometime in 1992 or so. It was one of the gateways. 'spike', I'm pretty sure, was a Sony NEWS. It was also one of the gateways IIRC. Those are the only two I can (kinda) remember. Jim --------------A7D3242A0D0EFDAD377CCC09 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

But I can't remember what sort of system (hardware or OS) it was now however and wondered if anyone else did?

https://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/Manuals/finger-1.37/html_node/finger_17.html mentions "spiff" (which rings a bell as one of the systems) as a "Sony" which must have been a NEWS-OS (BSD) system.
