From: "Erik E. Fair"
before that, ARPANET was connected
NOTE: "ARPANET" is _always_ (**ALWAYS**) used with the definite article
("the"). Don't take my word for it; check out, e.g.
A History of the ARPANET: The First Decade

https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA115440.pdf
(There are a lot more contemporaneous documents - AFIPS conference papers,
etc - if anyone is interested in them.)
I was somewhat polite about it _this_ time.
