------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What part of tcp-ip is in the public domain? I understand that DARPA or some related government agency specified what tcp-ip is. Does anyone have the reference to the government document, or an english version of it? Is there source code for tcp-ip on anything (especially an implementation for arcnet would be nice) that is public domain? Does anyone know of an existing implementation under arcnet or qnx? If these questions seem kind rudimentary, I am a mathematician, and I am posting for a friend, and he needs the answers. I want to thank you in advance for all of your time and effort!!!

The specifications are all public domain. There are implementations for a number of different machines and operating systems that are P/D. I don't know of anyone who is actually running IP on Arcnet, but I know someone who is trying to write a driver for one of the P/D IBM PC packages. He is pap4@ai.ai.mit.edu (Philip Prindeville). You can get the specs, and a list which includes almost all the P/D code and most commercial products, over the ARPAnet from the machine SRI-NIC.ARPA. Use FTP, login as "anonymous", the specifications are in RFC: and the Vendor's Guide is in NETINFO:. If you don't have ARPAnet access, the documents can be ordered on paper from SRI in Menlo Park, CA, or the Defense Technical Information Center in ?Alexandria? VA. For someone who doesn't know much about TCP/IP, get the "DDN Protocol Handbook", which costs a little over $100 (but is 6 - 8 inches high). Will someone who has the whole address and phone number handy post it? jbvb
