In particular inhp4. I used to have a UUCP map that linked me into this network back in
the mid 80s. I was based in the UK doing some work for Henry Spencer at Microport Systems
if any of you recall their iX286 System V port, which was pretty cool.
Anyway, there are some interesting machine names mentioned.

Thus, ihnp4 was Indian Hill Network Processor #4
mh was Murray Hill. ak was the Atlanta Wire Works, sb was Southern
Bell, cb was Columbus (Mark Horton was mark@cbosgd for
a long time)
plus others.
Yup, Columbus Operating Systems Group D, as I recall.
Then there were the machines in the lab that had (and
have) names like
bonnie, clyde, ulysses, research, allegra, lento, harpo, chico, etc.
