Copy	Both on-spec routes to a copy were tried and both answered negatively. The only oa_pdf address on this record is dl.acm.org, the same host that answered 403 Forbidden for davies1967digital minutes earlier -- the host replies and declines this account, which is stable rather than transient. The landing page is doi.org, off-spec, not asked. archive.org was searched for TYMNET and returned 39 items, none of them this paper or the AFIPS Spring Joint Computer Conference 1971 proceedings that carry it; the closest was a 2007 IEEE anthology, which is a different publisher's reprint collection and not this volume. No third on-spec route is known. This settles the copy, not the work: the record is fully identified (DOI 10.1145/1478786.1478817, La Roy Tymes, SJCC 1971, pages 211-216). If the AFIPS proceedings become reachable, take this settle back rather than reading it as evidence that no copy exists.

The past few years have seen many applications of the mini-computer in digital communications. They have been used as interfaces to larger computers. They have been used as terminal drivers and data multiplexors. They have been used to connect computer centers for intercomputer communication. TYMNET* is a communication net that encompasses all of these features at relatively low cost.
