[ih] inter IMP hackery [was Recently restored and a small ARPANET was run using simulated IMP hardware, ]

Thanks, Lars.  Now that you remind me, I remember that episode.  That
may have discouraged gathering more data such as throughput tests. 
Consuming some computer manager's paper and ink was cause for anger, the
reaction from consuming their bandwidth and cycles was too horrendous to
risk.
