I did write inter net rather than internet as I wasn't sure what term they 
used. It's definitely Arpanet time. I'm not keen on using Wikipedia as 
evidence of anything (I still love wikipedia honest) but....

P. Baran, "On Distributed Communications Networks", IEEE Trans. Comm. 
Systems, March 1964.  We may have this in the library at sussex.

I think I read this after reading the book about the physics bloke in 
America trapping some hackers in Germany; The cuckoo egg??? The author is a 
big security cheese now- cliff stoll. I'm not sure that's the paper but 
assuming the isoc.org site is right that sounds like the one.

Hello!
Just read that too:
"..
The give and take was highly productive and the first written version 7 of 
the resulting approach was distributed at a special meeting of the 
International Network Working Group (INWG) which had been set up at a 
conference at Sussex University in September 1973. Cerf had been invited to 
chair this group and used the occasion to hold a meeting of INWG members 
who were heavily represented at the Sussex Conference
..."  <http://www.isoc.org/internet/history/brief.shtml#Initial_Concepts>

I wonder who was there??? I probably work with people who went to that! I 
would have been two years old; nearly 3. Some of my colleagues have been at 
Sussex since the 60s/70s. The late prof Grimsdale may have been at Sussex 
then?

I think isoc.org traces the use of the word inter net, internet, InterNet 
etc and follows on from the arpanet and milnet references; didn't read it 
all.
