[ih] CSNET

Well, I've just finished extensive changes to Wikipedia's entry for CSNet:

    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSNET>

It would be great for folks to review it and fix any errors you see.

ps.  I am quite sure that the entry's paragraph beginning "By 1981" has 
incorrect details about who was connected and the number during the first year 
but I don't remember enough to fix it.

For example, the first Phonenet site I brought up was University of 
Pennsylvania.  Ira Winston got MMDF running on a DEC VMS system, which was quite 
an impressive and ugly feat.  It motivated him to recast MMDF into a form that 
was friendly to operating systems that had expensive process invocation.  It was 
called PMDF and played an important role.  (See the genealogy chart).
