			The Data-comm Song


		(to the tune of Home on the Range)
			 from DEC archives


     Oh give me a line which stays up all the time
      and a modem which won't drop a bit
     And nodes, by the peck, which all run up to spec.
      And a telephone linemans' tool kit

	      Dee, dee, see em pee
	 (DDCMP)
	       Pee dee pee 10, see pee you
	 (PDP-10, CPU)
	      En ess pee, are jay E
	 (NSP, RJE)
	       En see el, see are see
	 (NCL, CRC)
	      E eye aye, are ess too 30 too
	 (EIA, RS-232)

     We've now got a net, without any sweat
      With routing and route-through to boot
     And, quick as a wink, we've avoided Bisync
      And distributed we can compute

	      See, see, eye tee tea
	 (CCITT)
	       Ess dee el see, bee ess see
	 (SLDC, BSC)
	      Ess why en, dee el E
	 (SYN, DLE)
	       Ess oh H, E tea bee
	 (SOH, ETB)
	      Ess tee eks, for . too kay H zee
	 (ETX, 4.2kHz)
