The computer mentioned in the subject may in fact be
familiar to some of you (Sellam, notably...).
It was a rebadged Computer Automation Alpha-16,
with special software that provided for its use
as a digital network switch. TRAN was also known
as Computer Transmission Corp. of El Segundo, CA.
Does anyone know what became of the company?
In a few weeks, I'll put a diagram of the Indiana
University Computing Network cira 1974 up on my web
site so you can see the role it played. You'll need
a WHIP! viewer (from Autodesk's web site) to view it.
