+                  Single access to Standard Protocols
+
+
+Isn't the idea of a single access protocol simple enough that one could
+be specified, and a socket reserved for it, before the proposed mail
+protocol becomes official?  The result would be that MP could be the
+first protocol implemented under UULP (or whatever it is to be called),
+and the other protocols could be "moved" as soon as any problems in the
+official specifications could be worked out, and at the convenience of
+implementors.
+
+The single access protocol might have the following commands:
+
+    USER
+    PASS
+    ACCT
+    MAIL
+    FTP
+    RJS
+    DRS (?)
+    HELP (?)
+    BYE
+
+following Jim White's idea of nested command and reply spaces.
+
+This doesn't address the question of "what is free", or of the
+interrelationships between the various protocols, but it doesn't make
+those problem any worse, only a little different.
