mcvax

mcvax.cwi.nl used to be the international backbone node ofEUnet, the European Unix network. It was located inAmsterdam, Netherlands and belonged to "Centrum voor Wiskundeen Informatica" (Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science)which is an institute belonging to a foundation called"Mathematisch Centrum". Since the first mcvax was on of thefirst VAXen in Europe and one of it's first uucpconnections was to a machine called decvax it was quicklychristened mcvax. Some also say this was done to give JimMcKie a nice mail address: mcvax!mckie. But this is certainlynot true at all. The function of EUnet international backbonemoved to another VAX later but the name moved with it, becausein those days of mainly uucp based mail and before widespreaduse of pathalias it was simply not feasible to rename themachine to "europa" as was suggested at one stage.

Mcsun (or relay.eu.net or net.eu.relay in some parts ofEurope) replaced the international backbone host of EUnetaround 1990. This machine was donated by Sun Microsystemsowned by the European Unix Systems User Group (EUUG). Itwas located about 5m from where mcvax used to be and operatedby the same people.

Mcvax has finally ceased to exist in the domain and uucpnamespaces. It still exists in the EARN/BITNETnamespace.
