Vint,
The internetting terminology was in existence as we wrote the tcp paper in
1973, but the internetting project got on the books formally in 1974, i
think. I'd have to do a bit of digging to be sure.

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?
