Angry_Admin writes “For Network World’s 20th anniversary, they’ve published an interview with William (Bill) Yeager, the creator of the multiprotocol router, with some history on how Cisco came to be. As he says in the interview : ‘This project started for me in January of 1980, when essentially the boss said, ”You’re our networking guy. Go do something to connect the computer science department, medical center and department of electrical engineering.“’ 6 months later he had his first working 3MBit router shoved in a closet.”
