Jeff,

ATN isn't the only group at UNC that has computer networks, right?
CompSci has their own group.  ILS has their own group.  How many
other departments have (or used to have) their own group too?  How
confident are you that this didn't happen in some department that
handles (or used to handle) their own networking?  From what I remember
when I was a grad student in CompSci, the CompSci people seemed to
pretty much do their own thing.
