My first recollection of the documented use of the term "Internet" was in RFC
675 the specification of the Internet Transmission Control Protocol.
ARPA called the project "Internetting" starting in 1973, I believe.
Bob Kahn you know that point for sure.

PS. Vint, when was the name Internet used for the first time? When you say
'multiple net systems' did you refer by then to mutiple networks, to multiple
technologies or both?
