-The MINITS [[source]] calls lots of things 'NCPs', but these have nothing to do with the 'real' [[Network Control Program|NCP]]. In fact, MINITS doesn't support any [[IMP interface]]s. The use of 'NCP' was just a terminological affliction among the CHAOS people, to whom 'NCP' apparently meant 'protocol implementation' or 'network code'.
