	We have a local ethernet here at SRI which we are just
bringing into production mode. One of the design ideas was to
use as much existing software as possible, so we built SRI-IMPs
(shrimps) which attach the the ethernet and optionally an
ARPAnet IMP (interface message processor), and pretend to
be an IMP. This lets us use ARPAnet software. Hosts connect
to the SRIIMPs via the ARPAnet standard 1822 connection, or to
the ethernet directly in some cases.
	So far we have connected UNIX and TOPS-20 hosts to the
net. Our Burroughs accounting facility connection is now in
debug mode. We have plans to add TCP/IP (US DoD protocols) to
the SRIIMPs, to provide direct access to other ARPAnet (and
internet) sites from hosts without a dedicated ARPAnet IMP.
