[ih] History of Network Virtual Terminal (NVT)

[mbaer at cs.tu-berlin.de (Matthias Bärwolff)]

Hi all,

I've been trying to find out about the actual origins of NVT, but cannot
find statements other than (1) that a common terminal representation
would be good, or (2) that it exists in the shape of NVT. So where does
it come from? Did the BBN guys specify it when building the TIPs (which
did just that: the character conversion between the local terminal and
NVT)? Or did it emerge from the work on Telnet in the NWG?

Thanks for all hints.

Matthias
