The quote came from a simh commit message. I took it to mean you
would need some reference drivers (eg. BSD) to develop the host
end of the 1822 (eg. DEC IMP-11A or ACC LH/DH) in the corresponding
emulator (eg. PDP11). I doubt the IMP cares if you are going to
blast NCP or IP/TCP over it once that's done.
