Subject: [TUHS] ANTS (was: In memory of: J. Presper Eckert)
Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2018 12:18:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D9276431-DD9D-4BF2-B7D4-D4D853840887@planet.nl> (raw)

ANTS was written by Gary Grossman and the experience with ANTS and ANTS 2 was the direct inspiration for NCP Unix (which was probably what Mike installed):

The source for NCP Unix is available on the Unix Tree webpage:

> While Mike and I still shared an office in 394, the ENIAC room was where the IMP 29 on the ARPANET was and a PDP-11/40 system that ran a terminal server called ANTS (ArpaNet Terminal Server) complete with little ants silkscreened on the rack tops. When the ARPANET went to long leaders, Mike replaced that software with a UNIX host giving the BRL their real first HOST on the Arpanet. Years later I recycled those racks (discarding the 11/40) to hold BRL Gateways (retaining the ants).
