Anybody has the history of the ancestry of IMP/TIPs?
How many IMPs were made? For how many years of services before the
2nd. generation succeeded them?
And what about the 3rd., 4th., and so on until Cisco wiped everybody out.. :-{
Joe R. menitioned that he has a 2nd. generation unit?

Yeah, the IMP was the first incarnation of the router as we know of it today.
While the TIP was the first incarnation of the terminal server.
I think we're talking about the ARPAnet IMPs
and TIPs,
Yes:
IMP = Interface Message Processor,
TIP = Terminal Interface Processor
The IMP connected computers to the arpanet and the TIP connected
terminals to machines on the arpanet.
