## Arpanet IMP implemented in C
This is part of the effort to add simulated IMP interfaces in SIMH.
See [BBN Report 1822](http://bitsavers.org/pdf/bbn/imp/BBN1822_Jan1976.pdf)
for the protocol used to communicate with the IMP.
### API
First reset the IMP:
- t_stat imp_reset (IMP *imp)
Then set imp.receive_bit to a callback which is used to receive data
from the network. The callback will receive a boolean bit, and
another boolean to say whether the bit was the last in a message. The
callback has this type:
- t_stat (*) (int bit, int last)
The IMP accepts data from a host using one of these two APIs:
- t_stat imp_send_bits (IMP *imp, uint64 data, int n, int last)
- t_stat imp_send_packet (IMP *imp, void *octets, int n)
The first function accepts input in the lower n bits of data. Message
bits accumulate until last is true.
The second function can be used to send a complete packet with n bits.
