The IEN repository at the RFC Editor is missing this one; I ask because the
IEN's for the minutes of the meetings are all there, except this one.
(Bennett, "Internet Meeting Notes - 1&2 May 1978). Not super-important
(compared to say, the email archive of the TCP/IP email list at the time,
which I think was at DARPA - but maybe at a contractor), but it would be nice
to have.

Oh, I've found some evidence that I wasn't the only one who called that group
the 'Internet Working Group' (r.e. my original query); I don't remember all
the instances I've seen, but IEN-60 is entitled "Boston Area Meeting of the
Internet Working Group to Discuss Interactions With Gateways".

PS: Craig's email reminds me of another password story. Proteon put a field
service password in the Proteon routers. So Milo gets the load, and thinks
'Gee, I should try running 'strings' on this'; he does so, and see an odd
string (near the 'Password:' prompt, IIRC). He tries it, and it lets him in.
He complains. So in the _next_ release, he runs 'strings' over it, and sees
the string 'Sorry Milo, it's not so easy this time!'
