What we're trying to find out, on two threads now, is how life
was before registered domain names.

--
In the unix world, uucp and netnews, both using bang separated
pathnames. Tom could explain the details of FIDOnet, which had
gateways. Then there were all the other corparate/educational
nets with their own naming rules (bitnet,decnet and dec's internal
networks). Most people had slow point-point links at the periphery.
