In this paragraph (3rd graph from top):
"Although Ken Thompson at Purdue was not involved in the installation at
Berkeley as he had been for most systems up to that time, his expertise was
soon needed to determine the cause of several strange system crashes.
Because Berkeley had only a 300-baud acoustic-coupled modem without auto
answer capability, Thompson would call Standiford in the machine room and
have him insert the phone into the modem; in this way Thompson was able to
remotely debug crash dumps from New Jersey. "
From my understanding, Ken Thompson was at BELL LABS, not PURDUE. How could
he have been at Purdue and FROM NEW JERSEY?
