- MIT has developed a set of programs called EOS (Educational On-Line
- System)*. There are text-only programs, as well as programs using the
- Andrew Toolkit from CMU. I believe the latest version of ATK includes NEOS.
- This package transfers files using an RPC protocol. At MIT, Kerberos is
- used for authentication.

- * I think MIT changed the name to NEOS because EOS was already a trademark,
- but it was originally called EOS.
