MHSnet

MHSnet is a store-and-forward Message Handling System for wide area networks. MHSnet and its precursor, SUN3, were used to implement the Australian Computer Science network, commonly known as ACSnet, which connected Australia's Universities to each other and to ARPANET.

MHSnet was originally developed at the University of Sydney by Piers Lauder and Bob Kummerfeld and was originally known as SUN3 (Sydney University Network version 3). Technically, it is similar in concept to UUCP in that it enabled the transfer of email, Usenet, and files in an efficient manner over non-dedicated links. In addition, it supported dynamic routing and a hierarchical name space avoiding the limitations of hardwired network addresses.

MHSnet was a key technology in the introduction of Internet access in Australia. Due to the prohibitive costs of telecommunications structure, and the small amount of bandwidth available both internally and to other countries, MHSnet provided a system that could more efficiently utilise network resources. Gateways between ACSnet and the Internet were provided by many universities, and access to non-academic users was granted in the early 1990s.

Track listing

Oz (2000 AD)

Oz, officially the Sydney–Melbourne Conurbation, is a fictional mega-city in the Judge Dredd comic, located in the south east of Australia. It was the main setting for the Judge Dredd strip Oz. Like most of the mega-cities of the time Oz is ruled by a Judge system. According to the Judge Dredd D20 RPG Oz was where the sport of sky surfing began. Characteristics: The Judges of Oz are shown in the Judge Dredd story to be involved in gambling and are shown to be only half-heartedly trying to prevent the 'Supersurf' race. Geography: The Mega-city of 'Oz' or 'Sydney-Melbourne Conurbation' occupies the greater part of the territory currently occupied by the Australian states of New South Wales and Victoria. The Sydney Opera House is still standing when Judge Dredd visits Oz, and later in the story it is shown that the Australian outback has become to Oz what the 'Cursed Earth' is to the Mega Cities of the North American Continent. The megalith [uluru] also features prominently in the story 'Oz'.
