MITRE TCP/IP distribution

[The News System <news>]

MITRE has produced several prototype implementations of devices which use
the Department of Defense (DoD) communication protocols TCP, IP, ARP, ICMP
TELNET.  Most of the implementations use the CMOS/DMOS operating systems also
produced by MITRE.  The programs are written in "C" language and Motorola
68000 assembler.  The current programs are maintained on a SUN3 workstation
running Berkely 4.2 UNIX.

MITRE is not in the business of producing or maintaining software.  Devices
and software created by MITRE are prototypes created for particular sponsors.
Some of the programs are available to the outside world with restrictions
as itemized below.

The current contact(s) for the TCP/IP distribution tape are:

		Manette Charny
		Mailstop: W425
		1820 Dolley Madison Blvd.
		McLean, VA 22102
		(703) 883-6728
		ARPANET:   charny at mitre-gateway

		Daryl Crandall
		Mailstop: W429

The requester should send to MITRE:

1.  2400 foot reel of 1/2 inch magnetic tape capable of handling 1600 bpi.

2.  Letter indicating the following:
	-- who they are
	-- what our software is to be used for
	-- equipment and operating system being used by them.
	-- tape format desired:
		only format possible is Berkely 4.2 UNIX tar, 1600 bpi,
		and any blocking factor 1 through 20. (20 by default)
	-- they agree to the four conditions listed below.

Documents describing the OS and the TCP/IP implementation can be obtained
from MITRE document control.

The software is distributed free of charge with the following conditions:

1.  The MITRE TCP/IP source files won't be passed on to third parties.  If
    someone wants them, have them contact us.  We just want to know who has
    what, and what it is being used for.

2.  MITRE will be credited should the software be used in a product or written
    about in any publication.  However, MITRE will not be referenced as the 
    source in advertisements.

3.  MITRE assumes no legal responsibility for source code and its subsequent
    use.  No warranty is expressed or implied.

4.  If any bugs or problems are found then they should be reported back to
    MITRE.

NOTE:
	It takes a good "hacker" to interpret and install the software provided
	from this office.
