Summary: Tymnet and DOD

-
    In reading the explanation of what Tymnet is my first responce is:

        Tymnet is not DOD sponsored! Tymnet was, up to early 1984, a
        wholly owned by Tymshare. It was not a part of Tymshare because
        of FCC regulations. In 1984 Tymshare was bought by McDonnell Douglas,
        is now named Tymnet, A McDonnall Douglas Company.

    After thinking for a minute I wonder if we (Tymnet) are not after all DOD
DOD sponsored. After all we are part of McDonnell Douglas :-)
