<div dir="ltr"><div>J. Krezner of SDC was the author of RFC 17, dated 27 August 1969. I imagine that whatever SDC group J. Krezner was in had the ARPA contract that led to SDC getting an IMP. The SDC IMP was #8, probably installed around April or May of 1970. The first Host connected to it was an IBM 360/67. The technical liaison for that Host in late 1971 was Bob Long. All of the above comes from the RFC archives.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Alex McKenzie<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 12, 2019 at 2:00 AM Karl Auerbach <<a href="mailto:karl@cavebear.com">karl@cavebear.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Some very early maps of the ARPAnet show an IMP at SDC (System <br>

However, during my time there (roughly 1971 through 1980) I never saw <br>
hide nor hair of one (and given that our group under Clark Weissman and <br>
Gerry Cole was the group involved with these sorts of things, we would <br>
have been the group that would most likely have known about it.)<br>
<br>
Does anyone know more about the SDC IMP? Did it actually exist? If so, <br>
any details?<br>
