apparently cisco used them as well but
'borrowed' someone's RTOS design
as the basis for IOS? There was some lawsuit and Stanford got cisco
network gear for years for free but they couldn't take stock for some
reason?
I don't know the whole story, but there was some kind of scandal; I vaguely
recall stories about 'missing' tapes being 'found' under the machine
room
raised floor...
The base software for the Cisco multi-protocol router was code done by William
(Bill) Yeager at Stanford (it handled IP and PUP); I have a vgue memory that
his initially ran on PDP-11's, like mine. (I think their use of that code was
part of the scandal, but I've forgotten the details.)
From: Tom Lyon
the design ... relied on CAD tools only extant on the
Stanford PDP-10.
Sounds like SUDS?

It might have been 11/20's, but I thought he had LSIs at that point (but I
can be miss remember). It was much more sophisticated and was really
building a router, the CMU DFE was not. We wanted a terminal mux. So
were primarily interested in telnet. As I mentioned to Lars in another
thread, here is where I learned of SUPDUP for some of the LISPers. But
