PS. Vint, when was the name Internet used for the first time? When you say 'multiple net systems' did you refer by then to mutiple networks, to multiple technologies or both?

"catanet" was a term invented by Louis Pouzin, a French researcher responsible for the design and construction of the Cyclades system that included the Cigale pure datagram network. The term appeared in Internet Experiment Note #48 but as I recall was not used thereafter, when the term "Internet" became the preferred description name of the multiple network system sponsored by ARPA.
