I'd like to know of how big a role AT&T and DEC played in the
early days of the Net. I've seen passing references that they
were major contributors to distribution of News. Is this true?
Also did they play any other roles in the development of Usenet?
(I take it AT&T did start it all by distributing UUCP with Unix.
Was this at a point in time when Unix was easily available?

Thanks,
