I'm putting together a reading list on Xerox Network Systems (XNS), the network architecture developed at PARC and Xerox which influenced TCP/IP.

I'd like to learn more to play with the network functionality of Medley Interlisp based on XNS. Medley's TCP/IP stack is currently incomplete and not working.

@amoroso That's great Paolo. Thank you for doing that.

I really need to get Dodo running on my network so I can connect various D-machine emulator instances together. I plan to use the devhawala implementation. The repo (https://github.com/devhawala/dodo) has a bibliography section which may be of interest to you.

@bitsplusatoms You're welcome. Devhawala's Dodo is indeed the system I'm looking to try with Medley.
