Listserver for DFSMSHSM

"official" list

history of listserv

listserv somewhat grew up on bitnet ... from a internal corporate precursor.

the internal network was larger than arpanet-internet from just about the start until possibly mid-85

bitnet (and earn) was an application of some of the internal network technology (but bitnet nodes weren't included in the calculation of internal network nodes)

an old posting referencing startup of earn

recent posting discussing some internal network characteristics

some of the internal listserv evolution has been blaimed on stuff i was doing. there were some number of studies in the early 80s about what was going. one involved buttigning a researcher to study what i was doing. for 9 months they sat in the back of my office taking notes on how i communicated. they also had access to all my incoming & outgoing email and logs of all my instant messages for analysis. the study also turned into a stanford phd thesis (joint between computer ai and language depts) and material for subsequent papers and books. some discussion in collection of postings on cmc (computer mediated communication)

the listserv search page

doesn't list either dfsms or hsm. also the bit.listserv usenet groups (bitnet listserv groups gatewayed to usenet) doesn't indicate anything obviously dfsms-hsm.

does have some listings for ADSM ... which grew up out of an internal backup-archive tool that I originally wrote

doing dfsms search in google groups shows up references primarily in bit.listserv.ibm-main (ibm-main listserv group gatewayed to usenet)
