Talk:ARPANET
From Computer History Wiki
Category?
Currently ARPANET stuff is all getting put in Category: Networking, but I'm thinking it's worth setting up a separate category for them (there are now enough to make it worth it, I think). These are all candidates for being moved:
- ARPANET
- ANTS terminal system
- Host-to-IMP Protocol
- Interface Message Processor
- IMP interface
- Network Control Program
- Port Expander
- Terminal Interface Processor
- Terminal Interface Unit
- 1822 interface

Done: Category: ARPANET. Some (e.g. Terminal Interface Unit, which is more of an Internet device, really) didn't go there, but they were all tweaked, and their cat(s) carefully considered. Jnc (talk) 14:21, 7 November 2021 (CET)
- Sorry, completely missed this but I agree it's a good idea now that there are many more ARPANET related pages. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 11:07, 8 November 2021 (CET)
- And given that we have a lot of 1822 interfaces, many of which were in fact also used on the PRNET (on the PDP-11/40/ELF base stations BBN used, I suspect, the IMP-11A; on the TIUs, SRI used the Stanford and MLH-DH/LSI11 interfaces; PARC used the Alto one - which I may do an article on, after looking through the Alto 1822 archive), I think I'll create a Category: 1822 Interfaces, which I can add to all the appropriate categories (such as Category: ARPANET).
