:''For others named Rick Adams, see the Rick Adams navigation page'' Richard (Rick) L. Adams, Jr. is an American Internet pioneer and the founder of UUNET, which, in the mid and late 1990s, was the world's largest Internet Service Provider (ISP). Adams was responsible for the first widely available Serial Line IP (SLIP) implementation and founding UUNET, thereby making the Internet widely accessible. In 1982 he ran the first international UUCP e-mail link at the machine ''seismo'' (owned by the Center for Seismic Studies in Northern Virginia), which evolved into the first (UUCP-based) UUNET. He maintained B News (at that time the most popular Usenet News transport). In 1996, he donated one million dollars U.S. to the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF) to be used as the basis for its One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.sfweekly.com/2009-08-26/news/the-demystifying-adventures-of-the-amazing-randi/1 )''SF Weekly'', August 24, 2009, online version, page 2: "One of his friends, Internet pioneer Rick Adams, put up $1 million in 1996."〕 He is the JREF's treasurer. Adams co-authored the O'Reilly book ''!%@:: A Directory of Electronic Mail Addressing & Networks'' with his wife Donnalyn Frey.〔 〕 He is a co-author of RFC 1036, the Standard for Interchange of USENET Messages. He obtained a master's degree in computer science from Purdue University. , he resides in Northern Virginia with his wife Donnalyn and their two sons. == Creation of SLIP == In the early 1980s, 3Com's UNET Unix system could exchange TCP/IP traffic over serial lines. In 1984 Adams implemented this system on Berkeley Unix 4.2 and dubbed it SLIP. The SLIP protocol was documented in RFC 1055. The SLIP protocol was superseded in the early 1990s, by the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), which is still in use. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rick Adams (Internet pioneer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
