vint, as best yours truly can recall, prior to TCP being integrated into
the Tenex monitor, there were several BCPL user level programs written by
Bill Plumber at BBN that used a (new at the time) ICP mechanism to
communicate between them.

there were four programs (TCP, Sink, ECHO O, and a telnet server that used
PTY's -- rather than NVT's) to support remote user logins.  There was also
a TCP User Telnet program that allows outward TCP telneting ICP'ng to the
user TCP program.

each of these programs (TCP, Sink, ECHO O, and a telnet server that used
PTY's) were auto started at system boot time by using SYSJOB's "CRJOB"
mechanism to log each of them in "DETACHED" under WHEEL'd user TCP.

Bill Plumber then later came out to SRI to install either this user TCP
stuff (and the ICP and PTY monitor code) or later when TCP was integrated
into the monitor (in PDP-10 Macro Assembly Language) on what was originally
SRI-AI, then SRI-KA, then DARCOM-KA (where the NSW [National Software
Works] also ran).

as part of this installation and debugging process we would summarily stop
this work each night to watch the latest episode of *Mary Hartman, Mary
Hartman* on a portable TV yours truly brought in...

as you may recall, yours truly had one of the Collins Packet Radio's with
the LSI-11 (hostname Fernwood) attached to it in yours truly's office at
the time which would look out at the PRNet antenna mast across the SRI
parking lot to the building where the SRI-C3P0 and SRI-R2D2 Gateway PDP-11
resided.

yours truly believes that the SRI Bay Area PRNet LSI-11 to Tenex Host
communications first occurred using Bill Plumbers Tenex User level BCPL TCP
stuff before any USC-ISI (Tenex Monitor integrated TCP) was done.

unfortunately, neither Bill Plumber or Ray Tomlinson are around
to corroborate/chime in on this, so maybe Dan Lynch, Jim Mathis (or even
Ron Kunzelman, Keith Klemba, Don Cone could), but don't know if they are on
the Internet-History list or not (but clearly should be)...

ah, those were The Fun Days... :-)
