Postel, the original Clues Ltd server Dr Jonathan B. Postel, 6th August 1943 - 16th October 1998 Jon Postel was involved in nearly every aspect of creating the Internet and keeping it running. There are numerous rememberance sites around, perhaps one of the most famous is RFC2468, one of the first RFCs to be published without him as the RFC Editor. This postel was Clues Ltd's primary production server, and operated multiple aspects of keeping Clues Ltd functioning. To name it postel was perhaps a little cheeky, since to be worthy of the name it should really have been doing several times as much. |
