Abstract​

RFC 41 asks that sites tag IMP-to-IMP teletype messages that draw no response at the receiving IMP with the time and date they were sent. The author explains that without such tagging there is no way to tell whether an unanswered message is recent enough to warrant a reply, a difficulty made worse by the existence of sites that now span all time zones of the U.S. and have no direct voice connection, and requests that the transmitting IMP site use 24-hour time and include the time zone designation.
