Yeah;-)... This is the original TPC.INT scheme set up by Marshall
Rose and Carl Malamud to map all phone numbers in the world into the
DNS;-)...
<9.1.7.1.3.7.4.3.1.6.1.tcp.int>
They used it to set up free FAX transmission via the Internet with
local volunteer servers all around the world.
Except for finagling the TPC.INT Domain Name, they did it all without
asking permission from anyone. This is the Jesuit form of Working
Around Problems.
"It is easier to beg forgiveness than to get Permission.
The entire TPC.INT episode must be stashed somewhere in the Internet Archives.
