TC6 history - Vint Cerf's recollection
by Guy Leduc 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

Dear TC6 members, I asked Vint Cerf (he is still a member of WG6.1) to see whether he could help. Here is his answer. All the best, Guy PS: Note that the information from A. Danthine and S. Dibuz do not agree on the date of the first meeting (Spring 1972 versus April 1973). >At 04:16 PM 10/10/2001 +0200, Guy Leduc wrote: >>Dear Vint, >> >>As far as I know you were one of the attendees at the very first IFIP TC6 >>meeting that took place around 1972-1973. >> >>TC6 would like to commemorate its 30th anniversary, but lacks information >>about what happened at the very beginning.

RE: [ifip-tc6] Swissair
by Radford, Peter 04 Oct '01

I've just been informed by my travel agent that Swissair plan to be running near normal services by tomorrow. I shall check the situation tomorrow morning ("tomorrow is another day" as we say) but my current plan is to try to go via Swissair. (I'm on cheap tickets that are not readily transferable.) I suggest that anybody else who still has Swissair tickets does the same. I hope to see many of you in Zurich on Saturday!!

The news just reported that the Swiss government has arranged a special credit and that Swissair will be flying again tomorrow.

Swizzair
by Otto Spaniol 04 Oct '01

Dear all, many thanks for the new interpretation by Peter Radford, i.e. Swizz(!)air. As a real addict of Swissair I'm particularly disappointed about the development. In fact I have identified Swissair with Switzerland and with absolute reliability. It turned out that "desire of getting much money" seems to be even more typical than reliability for some Swiss bankers, politicians etc. They just don't know how much of the Swiss reputation will be lost (and has already been lost). I still hope to get a connection to Zuerich for tomorrow but who knows? Just a nice detail: If you call the Qualiflyer travelclub hotline (Qualiflyer was one of the points which made Swissair so attractive for me) then you will probably have to wait in a queue since a lot of people try to contact that line. And during that queueing procedure you hear a voice singing: "I believe I can fly" (endlessly repeated). Apparently somebody has had already a feeling about the problems which we face since a few days! Best regards Otto

Further to Karol Fabian's e-mail: there was a report this morning that Sabena had gone bankrupt too (a result of the Swizzair* problems). I haven't seen any comments as to whether they are still flying. Regarding my attendance at the TC6 meeting, I am still hoping to be there; my travel agents claim to have managed to re-book me on British Airways flights (I was going to travel on Swizzair). I'll confirm things when I have the tickets in my hand!
