+                          Comments on RFC #123
+                          --------------------
+
+
+
+        The requirement that byte size 's' be 32-bits for
+the initial connection imposes some severe strains on some of
+the 36-bit machines. For example, in our PDP-10 (DMCG-
+ITS) NCP, we have at present no way of sending or receiving
+exactly 32-bits of data. Data is transmitted either in
+image mode (36-bit bytes) or in ASCII mode (8-bit characters
+with the 8th bit as zero). Perhaps we should permit the
+server to send more than 32-bits (say 72-bits) where the
+remaining bits could be NULL fillers. The byte size
+'s' for the connection may be fixed at 8-bits.
