While at @CarnegieMellon - besides having jedi@cmu.edu for an email address, I was notified that of available campus bandwidth, it was split three ways between Lycos, me & my roommate’s dorm room, & the rest of campus. They wanted us or Lycos to move our systems… Lycos moved.https://twitter.com/trumanboyes/status/1462541668138164229 …

Replying to @DanielleFong @CarnegieMellon
Yep, Walter Wong of the network team at Computing Services gave us a note about it. Lycos moved to one of the floors in the West Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh, & we got to stay connected. But, yes, my site was in the top 10 of traffic at the PSC NAP.

I wished I had a photo of that 486 getting thrashed (FreeBSD stripped down with a custom kernel) - took the sides off it to keep it cool next to an open window in the Winter. I eventually stuck it on Netscape on a HP Apollo in my cluster I managed.

Fun part was, for our Wearable Computers class research (& basically inventing a usable telco data driven tablet PC well before Microsoft & Apple) we went down to observe a tech out in a 1GB memory card in one of their Sun servers… the card was the size of 2 notebook sheets.

I’m still hunting the original research project paper that came out of it… but it was in partnership with DEC/Digital… and IIRC the lead researchers presented the work at ACM and IEEE. Sadly, without the T-shirt for the semester, I have forgotten it’s name.

Here we go... https://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/vuman/www/publications/mocca.pdf … So while "under' Vuman, we didn't use the same hardware platform, we built our own with commodity components - including a CDPD modem and multiple layer compact x86 mobo. Browser-based UI and server...which, ties into the above story.
