[ih] Today’s Internet Still Relies on an ARPANET-Era Protocol: The Request for Comments (Steve Crocker)

[Jack Haverty]

Believe it.  I just logged  into the ITS system MIT-DM (Arpanet host 0,
IMP 6), from my Ubuntu desktop
Well, OK its running today on a simulated PDP-10, in Sweden rather than
MIT, and the ITS code was resurrected from ancient backup tapes.   The
network address is a little different.  But Telnet and FTP still work
fine.   Just like in 1972.   A nice historical reconstruction by the
ITS-HACKERS crew.   Try it.  /Jack
