Finally, an oportunity to voice my disgust at that paper.

The "authors" of the paper in question (Unix networking at Purde
as published in IEEE Computer), dont have a damned thing
to do with the Engineering Computer Network.

Hwang,Wah and Briggs are just some faculty members who are
out to write a paper about somebody elses work and get
credit for it. I seriously doubt if they understand how it works.
Much of the paper was written by George Goble (who got minor
credit as the author).

If you read the "about the author" section at the back of
the article, you will see credit is justly given, but you have
to read very closely.

The Engineering Computer Network was designed and implemented
by Bill Croft (late of SRI, but moving to Sun very soon) and
George Goble, still of Purdue. Ben Coates name is
mentioned because he is the depatment head of EE.
Thats his sole contribution.
