ANTS was written by Gary Grossman and the experience with ANTS and ANTS 2 was the direct
inspiration for NCP Unix (which was probably what Mike installed):

While Mike and I still shared an office in 394, the ENIAC room was where the IMP 29 on
the ARPANET was and a PDP-11/40 system that ran a terminal server called ANTS (ArpaNet
Terminal Server) complete with little ants silkscreened on the rack tops. When the ARPANET
went to long leaders, Mike replaced that software with a UNIX host giving the BRL their
real first HOST on the Arpanet. Years later I recycled those racks (discarding the 11/40)
to hold BRL Gateways (retaining the ants).
