Jeremy,
The IMP 11a is NOT an Interface Message Processor, and was not an ARPANET  (or ARPANET clone) switch.  It MAY have been a part of ARPA's packet radio experiments, but I am not confident that it had anything to do with packet switching.
Cheers,Alex McKenzie

This got me thinking ... is there any list of where the original IMPs 
(and modems, etc) are located today? What museums or other places can we 
visit to see them and learn about them (in person)?

On that note, any good museums that have exhibits for the physical 
history of the internet?

Hopefully this list allows my attachment. This is an Digital IMP11a. It 
is probably around 12 years newer than the original IMPs. I took this 
photo a few years ago in a Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) warehouse 
in Redwood City, Calif.
