Wayne,

like the Veteran's Administration Hospital Management system (VistA, written in MUMPS) this might probably be obtainable under the Freedom of Information Act.

Fortunately one of those tries (Alteon WebSystems) went public so I retired from the networking world and joined the ranks of wannabe world explorers.  That was some 24 years ago and as I tell people, I was technically obsolete two weeks after I quit.  (For what it's worth, I'm writing this aboard a riverboat in Bordeaux at the start of a weeklong "Chateaux, Rivers, and Wine" tour.)

Although it should be available -- I wrote it for NASA as a Civil Servant -- I have no idea how to get to it.  I am pretty sure mine was the only TCP/IP stack for the ARPANET itself (ie, talking directly to an IMP), although there may well be something later than mine.
