I completed a course taught by Douglas Comer last week (7/29 - 8/2) at Bell
Labs. He made reference during the course to the condition that he is a CS
Professor at Purdue. He also noted that he makes rather frequent use of the
ARPANET.
Hint: if you have access to the ARPANET then it shouldn't be too hard to engage
in correspondence with him over it.
He has a lab set up where there are LOTS of Xinu machines and users.
