+                         Logger Protocol Error
+
+   A conflict was recently discovered between the official NCP protocol
+   as described in protocol document 1 and the logger protocol as
+   described in RFC 66 by Steve Crocker.  Steve suggested that we put
+   out an RFC to alert the network community to this point.
+
+   In RFC 66, it is proposed that an ALL allocate command be sent
+   immediately following an RTS or STR request for connection.  This
+   conflicts with the restriction stated in Protocol Document 1 that an
+   ALL command can be given only for an "open" connection.
+
+   To not be required to handle an ALL command before a connection is
+   established is a simplifying restriction that an NCP implementation
+   may take advantage of.  For example, the Multics NCP is currently
+   designed this way.  For this reason, and also because we believe that
+   the NCP protocol should not be changed now except for critical
+   reasons it is felt that the proposed logger protocol should be
+   modified to agree with the existing NCP protocol.
