But ARPANET just gave you the pipes. You still had to use CP/CMS on the 360/67, MULTICS on the Honeywells, NCP CLI on the Vaxen, JCL or TSO on the other 360s and 370s, EXEC 8 language on the 1108s, etc.... I will agree that the incompatible communications _protocols_ were an issue, but ARPANET did nothing to solve command language compatibility.
