[ih] as promised

[Dave Walden]

Hi,

A week or two ago, while we were discussing ARPANET source material 
the novelist asked about, I mentioned that I was having BBN's 
proposal to building the ARPANET IMP scanned.  I have now posted it 
to my website (although it may be moved to another website in the not 
too distant future), and below I list it and three other documents I 
see as being related to the question of the evolving IMP design.  I 
am not soliciting renewed discussion at this point -- just following 
through on my promise to post the proposal.  Note, there are two 
pages missing from my printed copy of this proposal and also from the 
printed copy that Noel Chiappa has (pages E-13 and H-2).  If anyone 
has a copy of the BBN proposal with these two pages in it, I would 
greatly appreciate being sent a scan or digital photo of the two pages.
