As for the MorrowNet name for the Project's Shadow internet, it sounds good... but is a little long. especially when something like MPNET works as a .mpnet prefix at the end of a URL address (like .gov is used by official US government websites).  Thus why i used it for the name of the network. of course there would be other prefixes that they'd use for various parts of the network... but we wouldn't have to actually say that since we already have .com, .net, .gov, and plenty more. |
Nate,
I'm glad you kind of pulled back from defining the Project's goal in an ideological sense. If nothing else, Project members from the left and right need to be able to work together toward a common goal without squabbling over politics and the meaning of "big government" or "tyranny".
As for the name change for MORONET/MORROWNET, I hear you. It's a closed intranet so does DNS address system really matter? Plus, did they even have that in the 80's? Maybe my not wanting to "update" the Project is because I'm conservative and resistant to change simply for change's sake...
Doing some more research, it seems the IP system (IPv4) does pre-date the final Project update in 1987, so it could have been built into the MPC (Morrow Project Computer) architecture. As one of my players points out, it would be best to go with simply using IP addresses with password promts and not full domain names.
"Less likley of anyone finding them or knowing how to access them with out knowing what class address the MP grooup was using. That and it would give a huge range as in the 80 you could still get all three of the class adresses A, B, & C."
