The re-ARPANET project is making good progress, so I'm opening this to note some things on the to-do list.

One goal is to be able to have ITS and WAITS talk across the network. For this to work, we'll need some updates:

The existing IMP interface will have to be made to talk to the H316 IMP, instead of sim_ether. It's a simple UDP-based protocol. I wrote my own for the "Linux NCP", but the KA10 one will have to use the TMXR API. Much can be copied (or made common) from the h316_udp.c file.
WAITS seems to use its own IMP IO bus device, so that will have to be added. (Keep in mind there's also BBN's IMP-10 later.)

Also keep in mind the UDP protocol may be used from other emulators. Mainly PDP-11 for which there are a couple ARPANET host candidates.
