"ARPA Network Terminal System". According to RFC-597, Illinois had both an
11/20 and an 11/50 (11/45 variant) running ANTS; other sites also ran it on
an 11/40.

That could have been a local thing. At MIT, the first MIT-built LISP
Machines, also housed in H960 racks, had custom logo panels reading "LISP
Machine", with an illustration of a LISP two-part cell, with pointers (to
other, un-shown, cells). I still have one... (the panel, not the CADR).

Got -11's on the brain.. ;-)
