J.P. Martin - South Africa, to a small primitive village called Pilgrims Rest, and it seemed fitting that many years later he should retire to a small village like Timberscombe. He had remarked many times that he had made a circular tour in his life, starting at a quiet little place and ending it also in a quiet village. He was a pioneer in missionary work and soon built up a wonderful congregation in South Africa. Young and keen, on many occasions he was forced to swim across rapid rivers to reach his church, with his clothes tied in a bundle on his head. For many years he was without a manse, and slept in the vestry of his small church. Returning to England in 1912, Mr Martin went to the Mid Gloucester Mission.
JANET - In order to address speed concerns, several hardware upgrades have been incorporated into the JANET system. In 1989 SuperJANET was proposed, to re-host JANET on a fibre optic network. Work started in late 1992, and by late 1993 the first 14 sites had migrated to the new 32 Mbit/s ATM system. SuperJANET also moved solely to IP. In 1995 SuperJANET II started, adding 155 Mbit/s ATM backbones and a 10 Mbit/s SMDS network centered around some of the original JANET nodes. JANET's mandate now included running metropolitan area networks centered on these sites. Today's JuperJANET III created new 155 Mbit/s ATM nodes to fully connect all of the major sites at London, Bristol, Manchester and Leeds, with 34 Mbit/s links to smaller sites around the country. JANET is connected to the.
