Pictured is the router which sent the 1st internet connection from NYC to Tokyo. These were sold out of a basement office of a home in Rahway NJ. It's signed by everyone who worked for Cisco Systems in 1989. It was given to my dad when he retired in 1999 for his work in establishing the internet.Submitted by TriggerTough t3_10kdpgl in newjersey

My dads main client at the end was Lucent Technologies in Holmdel.

My dad went through a similar gauntlet in Holmdel... Intel, Lucent, Avaya... haha, this brought back some nice memories, thanks.

Cool. I started my career in Holmdel at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1981. I met my wife there (we're still happily married), and our oldest worked there for awhile as a contractor.
