RFC 417

LINK USAGE VIOLATION
We have noticed that TENEX systems use link numbers outside the
allowed range. This is a violation of the official HOST-HOST
protocol. This causes problems with some sites when attempting to
establish connections with TENEX systems. We urge that this problem
be corrected by bringing all TENEX systems into conformance with the
established official protocol
