In my recent message about the creation of the Internet by the
conversion of the ARPAnet from NCP to TCP/IP, I incorrectly named Vint
Cerf as the Responsible Parent at ARPA. Actually, the Responsible
Parent at ARPA during conversion was Bob Kahn; Vint had left ARPA for
MCI before that date. There are enough slightly-incorrect "facts"
about the early history of the Internet floating around, without my
inadvertantly creating a new non-fact!
