I completed a course taught by Douglas Comer last week (7/29 - 8/2) at Bell 
Labs.  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.
