Both Webster's Computer Terms and Newton's Telecom dictionaries list it as
upper
case, only.
In Bellcore's Catalog of Technical Information, it's upper case (only) and
listed as a trademark owned by Novell.
At the (late) UNIX World magazine, it was always upper.
And in docs I've copy edited, I've always marked the lower case flavor as a
typo...
