Back in the day, the campus computing power was an ICL 4130 with a PDP11
bolted on the front running interactive BASIC to 8 (or was it 10)
Teletypes scattered across the campus.
The system was known as KOS - (Kent Online System) and I think a clone
of it was also run at Reading too.

According to Google, York also ran KOS


Strangely, I have a KOS manual within reach of me right now...beside my
desk.
