I wrote an unpublished paper on this when I was invited to China in 1984 (subsequently denied permission by the Government [sensitive technological position]). I collected papers from ARPAnet history (Elizabeth Feinler at SRI), and others. If you want to learn about phones, just go to the library, there are numerous books, sorry none off the top of my head, on the history of the phone systems, or just write AT&T, hell, phone them. Places like this write their own histories. A good history reference for computer networks (I have the history of Xerox PARC, Ames, etc.) is Tanenbaum's Computer Networks book, but it will not convey you the feeling of being an early net user. Also try [John] Quarterman's "[The] Matrix" book. e. nobuo miya
