In 1969, ARPA [Advanced Research Projects Agency] gave the job building "interface message processors" (I.M.P.'s), otherwise known as "node" or "packet switches"---the cruical hardware for sending and receiving bursts of data---to Bolt, Baranek & Newman.  In a congratulatory telegram to the company, Senator Edward M. Kennedy referred to I.M.P.'s as "interfaith" message processors.
