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

[the keyboard of geoff goodfellow]

you'll need to ^Z (Ctrl-Z) to get ITS attention after the telnet connection
opens... ^Z on ITS kinda like ^C on Tenex/TOPS-20's -- from that era when
we had ASCII terminals connected to the PDP-10's line scanner. :

btw, there is another ITS running over at the Living Computer Museum, but
you'll need to ssh into menu at tty.LivingComputers.org to get to it. :D
