Hello,

I'm looking for information about the MIT-DMS Arpanet SURVEY program.
In particular, I'd be very interested if anyone has any idea where to
search for the source code.  I have made inquiries to the most obvious
place, MIT.  I haven't been successful contacting Marc Seriff or Abhay
Bhushan.

It's decribed in these RFCs:

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc308.txt
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc523.txt
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc530.pdf
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc565.txt

And there's even a screenshot of the survey data being displayed here,
to the upper left:

We do have source code for HOSTAB, which is the client program used to
retrieve this data from MIT-DMS.

Best regards,
Lars Brinkhoff
