I felt a need to correct some history. First Phonenet has always been in MMDF
since MMDF was built to service a non networked attached site where Dave 
Crocker and I were about to go. PMDF is a Pascal impklementation of mainly
the Phonenet part of MMDF (at least originally).

Below are two references. The first is the seminal one and described the
protocols etc
