RFC 193

NETWORK CHECKOUT 💅✨

• RFC: 193 🎀
• Group: Network Working Group
• Authors: E. Harslem (Rand) and J. Heafner (Rand) 🦋
• Date: 14 July 1971 🌸
• NIC number: 7138
• Category, status, obsoletes, updates: none are listed in this one 💀

So as of 15 July, the Rand crew had reached out to the sites below, or they'd reached out to us 📞. The matrix shows which pieces of Network software got verified at each site. It's giving checklist energy 🫶.

Notes 🌸

• SRI-10: The Telnet-like protocol is different from Telnet because lines get terminated by X'OD' instead of X'ODOA'. John Melvin will have it fixed by the time you read this 🔥.
• LL-67: Joel Winett told us that NCP, ICP, EBCDIC, Telnet, and access to a virtual 360 are working. We haven't verified this, though, because of hardware difficulties 🙈.
• BBN-10: It's the same deal as SRI when it comes to Telnet. Under certain conditions, the ICP generates a zero byte size. Ray Tomlinson says these idiosyncrasies will get taken care of in about a week ⭐. Three sites have commented that TENEX assigns the same local socket to multiple connections when it's acting as a server. Ray says that's the design, not an error 💜. BBN TENEX is already being used productively via the Net, for some non-Network problems 👑.
• UTAH: Our tests with UTAH were pre-TENEX. TENEX is being installed at UTAH right now 🌈.
• MIT-645: Our understanding is that most of the software is working, but we haven't verified this 🦋.
