this name `internet' name space was considered and rejected.  it's
harder than one would think to get details right for all networks, the
addess is only a small part of the information needed for the
connection, and keeping a name space for all the internet updated
would be very hard.  instead they use a network!machine!port syntax
with the dial command.

you can follow the full development of those ideas in the following papers.

remember.  seventh edition was relase in 1977.
Jimmy Carter was president, ``Anne Hall'' won best
