Correction to RFC 404

This is to correct a typographic error in RFC# 404.  The
address of the ISI IMP is 22 (decimal), not 86 as was
erroneously stated.  All other numbers in RFC# 404 were
correct;  the complete (corrected) text follows:

This week the RAND IMP was temporarily removed from the
Network and a new IMP was installed at ISI.  Some of the
people and computers from RAND have moved to ISI, in
particular the RAND TENEX is now the ISI TENEX.  The address
of the ISI IMP is 22 (decimal) and the TENEX at ISI is Host
number one; thus the "Network Address" of the ISI TENEX is 86.
Sometime early next week the RAND IMP will be re-installed.
It will still be IMP number 7, and the IBM 360/65 at RAND will
still be "Network Address" 7.

PROBLEMRFC 404 gave the wrong address for the IMP at ISI.
MECHANISMThis note says the address of the ISI IMP is 22 (decimal), not 86, and repeats the full corrected text.
THE CORRECTIONAll other numbers in RFC 404 were correct. The note updates RFC 404.

§1The Correction

This note corrects a typographic error in RFC 404. The address of the ISI IMP is 22 (decimal), not 86 as was erroneously stated. All other numbers in RFC 404 were correct.

One number was typed wrong, so this note fixes it.

§2The Corrected Text

The RAND IMP was temporarily removed from the network and a new IMP was installed at ISI. Some people and computers from RAND moved to ISI; in particular the RAND TENEX became the ISI TENEX.

The ISI IMP address is 22 (decimal) and the TENEX at ISI is Host number one, so the Network Address of the ISI TENEX is 86. The RAND IMP was to be re-installed early the next week, still as IMP number 7, and the IBM 360/65 at RAND would still have Network Address 7.

A computer moved to a new building, so it got a new address. The old building keeps its address for when it reopens.

§3What Changed and What Did Not

Only one number changed: the IMP address 22 replaces the wrong 86. The Network Address of the ISI TENEX stays 86, because it is formed from IMP 22 and Host number one. The RAND numbers, 7 for the IMP and 7 for the IBM 360/65, are unchanged.

Only the one wrong number was swapped; everything else stayed as first announced.
