N1 - Funding Information:
An early version of MMDF software was exported to SRI International, for its use in tying together a PDP 11/70 at Gallaudet College, in Washington, D.C. and an SRI PDP 11/40 in Menlo Park, California, as a demonstration telecommunication network for the deaf ( "Deafnet" ) . The project is funded by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and this first phase is intended to show the feasibility of augmenting the deaf community' s existing mechanism (direct station-to-station phone

N2 - The advent of packet-switched networks has led to increased use of computers for sending text messages (memos) between people. However, attachment to common carrier or equivalent packet networks is expensive and/or restricted by organizational policies. In addition, use of several networks creates the need for relaying memos between them. The work described here is designed to free users from dependence upon any particular communication environment and to provide a memo distribution facility which can employ whatever communication channels are available. It will support variable-network structures, emulation of network attachment, and inter-network memo forwarding.
