[ih] Fwd: RE: ARPANET Telnet design story

[vinton g. cerf]

we had an IMLAC at UCLA at one point and there was a special terminal that
SRI designed for use of NLS on the ARPANET (via TIP?) however I am not sure
any of this is especially germane to Telnet. Does anyone remember whether
the SRI NLS terminal used Telnet or a special protocol of its own?
