mcvax
     
        mcvax.cwi.nl used to be the international {backbone} node of
        {EUnet}, the European Unix network.  It was located in
        Amsterdam, Netherlands and belonged to "Centrum voor Wiskunde
        en Informatica" (Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science)
        which is an institute belonging to a foundation called
        "Mathematisch Centrum".  Since the first mcvax was on of the
        first {VAXen} in Europe and one of it's first {uucp}
        connections was to a machine called decvax it was quickly
        christened mcvax.  Some also say this was done to give Jim
        McKie a nice mail address: mcvax!mckie.  But this is certainly
        not true at all.  The function of EUnet international backbone
        moved to another VAX later but the name moved with it, because
        in those days of mainly uucp based mail and before widespread
        use of {pathalias} it was simply not feasible to rename the
        machine to "europa" as was suggested at one stage.
     
        Mcsun (or relay.eu.net or net.eu.relay in some parts of
        Europe) replaced the international backbone host of EUnet
        around 1990.  This machine was donated by {Sun Microsystems}
        owned by the {European Unix Systems User Group} (EUUG).  It
        was located about 5m from where mcvax used to be and operated
        by the same people.
     
        Mcvax has finally ceased to exist in the {domain} and {uucp}
        {namespace}s.  It still exists in the {EARN}/{BITNET}
        namespace.
