Some early RFC describe nodes being connected.

For example, RFC 254 says "The MIT PDP-10(AI) system uses the ITS
operating system and is similar to the MIT PDP-10(DMCG) system. At
present the host is not connected to the ARPANET."  RFC 342 has it as a
"network user", and in RFC 344 it's updated to a server.

Are the IMP numbers any indication which order they were connected?
