box n.
1. A computer; esp. in the construction `foo box' where foo is some
functional qualifier, like `graphics', or the name of an OS (thus, `Unix
box', `MS-DOS box', etc.) "We preprocess the data on Unix boxes before
handing it up to the mainframe." 2. [IBM] Without qualification but
within an SNA-using site, this refers specifically to an IBM front-end
processor or FEP /F-E-P/. An FEP is a small computer necessary to enable
an IBM mainframe to communicate beyond the limits of the dinosaur pen.
Typically used in expressions like the cry that goes up when an SNA
network goes down: "Looks like the box has fallen over." (See fall over.)
