Summary: PSU doesn't like UREP

I've heard rumors that the author of UREP, Robert M. Owens,
left PSU some time back and is now somewhere at the University of
Maryland.  I also know someone who talked to Dave Eckhart at Penn State
last spring; he reports that PSU is moving towards Ethernet.  The
implication was that they would cease using UREP.

In the way of Ethernet, Spartacus (1-800-LAN-KNET) claims to be
able to provide all the functionality necessary to get you between
Unix and VM.  I guess you would still need your VM to talk to BITNET.
