tolsun (
fqdn is tolsun.oulu.fi) was a
Sun box in the department of Information Processing Science in University of
Oulu,
Finland. It was the machine that ran
OuluBox and became the world's first
IRC server (
Jarkko Oikarinen wrote ircd in here).
It's now defunct because some cretin lost the piece of paper that had the wiring scheme of the power source. Besides, a 386 running Linux was faster than this baby. (So says the museum.)
Update 2001-11-21: Hmm, someone's been playing with DNS... tolsun.oulu.fi is now a CNAME pointing to tuoppi.oulu.fi, which in turn points to tuoppi.validatas.com. Interesting... I know this only because I'm supposed to read my mail from "tols17.oulu.fi", which I, for some reason, sometimes incorrectly type as "tolsun..."
