dood, that happened looooooooooooooooong ago, and in fact a **direct** result
of that is the Internet as we know it today.

sorta like spark plugs you find on those Perkins 4-108's you say are common as
drive engines on longliner fishing boats in New England.

of course, if you wish to continue to use Baudot coding, have at it.

"steve", your knowledge base in telecom is *almost* as bad as your knowledge

zero.

I do hope you have left the telecom industry twenty years back, for if not
you
are totally unemployable today, except in some grandfathered gov job.

You're the one who doesn't even know that the DoD has their own router
based network separate from the internet for stuff they don't want you
to be able to see. Probably because it's too new for you... it only
started up around 10 years ago.

I'll give you a hint: just google up SIPRNET and learn something for a
change.

and yet today, there is a company which selling a couple hundred buggy whips
each year. Not much of match as to the revenues of one or two oil companies,
but what the hell. you really can drive a buggy if you wish.

now, about those spark plugs on all those Perkins 4-108's you claim are the
main drive engine for New England based longliner fishing boats ...

And yet you claim you *must* drive a car if you want to get anywhere,
just like you *must* use an ISP if you want to read usenet newsgroups.

Ah, so you really are claiming you're an idiot. Thanks for the
clarification.

See, so you really have no idea what you're talking about. SIPRNET just
started in 1994, well after the internet went commercial. And it's
still growing today.

Lol. You're halucinating again. Did you dream that up in your stupor
last night? Time for you to go back to rehab. The last try didn't
take.

"steve", it was your claim, not mine. I know what a 4-108 is and how big a
longliner is.

ARPANET, dood, ARPANET. when DOD released the internet to the general public,
looooooooooooooooooooong ago, DOD had in place its own, more secure,
replacement.

Jox, rehab is your friend. Don't you know anyone who likes you enough
for an intervention? Probably not.

Wrong. It was your claim, not mine. You just made it above. I never
did except in your drug induced halucination. If you think it was real
and not in your stuporous haze, you'd be able to find a reference where
I said it. But you cannot find a real one because I never did.

Steve

"steve"? are you okay? need help? have you had short term memory problems
like this before? are your co-workers worried about you?

well, let's take it as if you really were out to lunch then. So, tell us --
once again -- just what kind of plugs might be found on the engine on a
longliner such as the Andrea Gail, plugs the drunken crew might be inclined to
clean in their anxiety?
