The NCP protocol became stable sometime in the 1970s (I don't know when -- I wasn't there, and I haven't read the RFCs that far back) and had some minor problems, like 8-bit host addresses.

This way, you would get worse service, but everybody else would get better service. Since the Berkeley guys were maintaining BSD, which was by that time the dominant OS on the Internet, they could mandate that every ...
