It's software from MIT-AI , and it doesn't have the IMP interface.
Sorry, the telnet implementation is on the host machine and goes to the
terminal ports.

It doesn't have TCP, so I think it would have been difficult to use
those protocols from a modern machine.

There are a few more.  SV started already around 2001: sv.svensson.org.
UP is up.update.uu.se.  A new addition is HX, hactrn.org.  The first two
has the IMP interface but only a few ports are open, like 95 for SUPDUP.
