Network Working Group                              Bob BresslerRequest for Comments:  361                         MIT-DMCGNIC:  10603                                        5 July 1972In response to RFCs 347 and 348, ECHO and DISCARD, MIT-DMCG(Host 106) now has deamon processes that will respond to RFCs onsockets 7 and 9.     A few administrative type decisions were made, to which Iwould like to solicit comments.     First, if our machine is too full to support another deamonprocess, the pro-offered connection will be refused;  that is, aCLS will be sent in response to the RFC on socket 7 or 9.Second, if no activity takes place for two consecutive minutes(no characters received on input, or output blocked waiting forallocation), the connection will be aborted.     Does anyone see the need or desirability for the thirdservice in this set:  a random character generator?  Many systemsprovide programs like "TTYTST" available over the standard loginconnection, but there would be no difficulty in creating a serverconnection (like ECHO) offering just this limited service.  I'msure that it would be useful for new NCPs, as well as statisticsgathering.
