A circuit-switched digital network, similar to
X.25. Datakit supports host-to-host connections and
EIA-232 connections for terminals, printers, and hosts.
Most of Bell Laboratories is trunked together on Datakit.
On top of DK transport service, people run UUCP for
electronic mail and dkcu for remote login.
