"Connected to" the Internet or Arpanet can mean a variety of things.
In the early 1980s users at British universities could connect to a
gateway machine (arpanet-relay, later nsfnet-relay) and copy files to
and from the Internet. Later there was an FTAM-FTP gateway that
allowed people using FTAM to transparently access Internet FTP
servers. Throughout the 1980s various people experimented with
relaying IP connections across JANET.
