1973 Desirability of a Network 1108 Service
We have, at the University of Utah, a Univac 1108 that supports the
Univac EXEC 8 system. At the recent ICCC conference in Washington,
there was some interest expressed in making this computer available
to the ARPANET. At present it is not so available. Since there is
communication currently between the 1108 and the Utah PDP-10, it
would require minimal programming effort to make the 1109 available
for network use.
We would appreciate your comments if you think this service would be
desirable. Please direct your comments to:

University of Utah

or to:
Ed Sharp
Director, Computer Center
Merrill Engineering Building 3116
University of Utah
Salt Lake City, Utah 84112
Enclosed please find:
(1) a brief description of the services available.
(2) pricing schedule.
(3) time schedule when the EXEC 8 system is available for use.
