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. Douglas R.
