Miron Schmidt<p>I have now repeatedly heard the claim that <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ADVENT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADVENT</span></a> was spread over <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ARPANET" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ARPANET</span></a>. I'm pretty sure that this is a modern misconception since bandwidth was so limited in the 70s that 100s of kilobytes or even megabytes surely couldn't just be transferred at will.</p><p>Can anyone shed more light on this? A proof one way or the other?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/earlyinternet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earlyinternet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/filetransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filetransfer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/DECUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DECUS</span></a></p>
