+                         LONDON NODE IS NOW UP
+
+   The London node of the ARPANET has been on the Net (Address 42) since
+   early September.  It consists of a TIP (Address 170) and, at present,
+   a local HOST (0), a PDP-9, which front-ends the Rutherford High
+   Energy Laboratory 360/195 located 60 miles from London and connect to
+   it by a 2.4 Kbps line.  The specific details of the 360 will soon
+   appear in the Resource Notebook, but, in brief, it has 2 megabytes of
+   fast store (750ns), a fixed head disk and a large number of other
+   peripherals.  It operates under OS/MVT release 21.7 and HASP II
+   version 3.1, with a locally written message switching system MAST and
+   an interactive editor ELECTRIC.  In addition to the local hardware,
+   it supports about 20 remote workstations, which are, in many cases
+   GEC 2050s simulating IBM 1130s.  Eventually, other Hosts will be
+   attached to the Very Distant Host Interface (Address 234).
+
+   The PDP-9 at the Institute of Computer Science also simulates a 1130
+   with 2 card readers, 2 card punches, two line printers, three MAST
+   consoles, and a system console.  It has a 16K (18 bit) words store, a
+   256K word drum and a number of devices usually attached by modem
+   interfaces.  The 1130 simulator software has been interfaced to an
+   ARPA system, which, at present, has IMP-HOST, HOST-HOST, ICP, and
+   TELNET protocols.  The TELNET link is initially to the PDP-9 from
+   whence the user may login to the 360 provided one of the two MAST
+   ports is available (the third being for local use).  The access is to
+   ELECTRIC, and the user may enter and edit files, submit them to the
+   batch stream, and inspect the output interactively from a terminal.
+   The facilities will be extended soon to allow the printing of jobs at
+   TIPS and later the RJE and FTP protocols will be implemented.
+
+   The 360 is available for limited experimental use, and a free login
+   facility has been provided (GUEST).  This account has a very limited
+   allowance (currently, 1min CPU time/week), and is designed only for
+   demonstration purposes.
+
+   All jobs under this account must be Class X, which has a maximum run
+   time of 10secs.  Proper accounts, for which there will be no charge,
+   can be arranged for appropriate users by contacting KIRSTEIN@ISI.  It
+   is not planned, at present, to make the 360/195 a normal service
+   HOST, like for example, the CCN machine.  However, the machine will
+   be made available for cooperative projects involving a US group and

+   an interested party in the UK.  Of particular interest to us are
+   applications in Network measurements, high energy physics, and
+   accelerator design, though other projects would be considered.
+
+   Primitive HELP facilities exist on both the PDP-9 and the 360, and
+   they are accessed by %H and TYPE JB=HELP, respectively.  Up to date
+   details will be given in the message obtained on connecting to the
+   PDP-9 and in the PDP-9 Help file.
+
+   ... A typical scenario is attached.
+
+   The intention is to keep the PDP-9/360 available as a HOST between
+   19.00 and 09.00 local time, as well as a number of periods during the
+   day (the local time is 8 or 9 hours ahead of California, and 5 hours
+   ahead of the East Coast).  There will be no operator available on the
+   PDP-9, although during the day and at least the early part of the
+   evening, there will be users in the computer room who will give
+   assistance where necessary.  The "operator's console" is a Teletype,
+   so any messages sent during the night will be read in the morning,
+   and we will try to send replies to all queries (if you tell us where
+   to reply to Network mail for our site may be send to KRISTEIN@ISI, or
+   to myself (IDENT=AVS) at the NIC.  Connection problems should be
+   referred to Peter Higginson (NIC ident = PLH).
