                   Who Talks TCP?

The list of hosts was taken from the NIC hostname table of 31-Dec-82. The tests were run on 25-Jan-83 from ~10:00 am to ~6:30 pm PST. Dead, refused, and unreachable hosts were retried 26-Jan-83 from ~8:00 am

to ~6:10 pm PST.

Claims are taken from the NIC host table:

= tcp (no particular services mentioned)
= tcp/telnet
= tcp/ftp
= tcp/smtp

Results for each service:

lank (not accepted)
efused
nreachable
ead
ccepted
ccepted+ (FTP allowed user anonymous, password guest)
