It's funny, circle.cs.jhu.edu was an old DECstation 3100 for a long
time (Circle's original development platform), until it was turned
into a lowly X server that did none of its own computation, until it
finally just died. However it might still be "alive", because a
Hopkins MUD admin wrote to me a while back asking if I would be
terribly offended if he were to run his CircleMUD on
circle.cs.jhu.edu, for old time's sake. I think his plan was to find
a new machine and give it the old name. I don't know if he ever did
or not.
