ECN Network Maps

The ECN network came into existence in 1976 with a single Digital PDP-11/70; today our network is composed of over 4,000 machines serving 15,000 users.

As the years have passed, ECN has enjoyed the talents of a cadre of mapmakers from a variety of university diciplines. Each mapmaker has become a skilled practitioner of AutoCAD software.
