It has been like that since the 90s. At Stanford we had a sysadmin track down a warez site to our HP logic analyzer. Everything at Stanford in the 90s had a public IP address (at least in EE).
Probably an HP 16600/16700[1]. The control processor is basically a repackaged HP-PA workstation running a full version of HP/UX. Used X11 for remote access. The earlier 16500 had an optional, separate equivalent processor.
I have a 16702A, which includes a front panel LCD and keyboard console. It's a beast.
