The 516 ran the BBN IMP software.  I'm talking about making an IMP
avaiable to a host machine such as a PDP-10.  To connect a host to the
network (ARPAnet/Internet), it's sufficient to emulate the services
provided by the IMP through the Host/IMP protocol.

Late versions of the IMP software was updated for TCP/IP, which is was
I'm primarily interested in.
