I meant VAX machines talking the NCP protocol.

Yet, there were experiments with TCP long before the flag day so it`s
not a 100% either/or situation. I get the feeling (but I have no
evidence handy) some subset of nodes got started using TCP before NCP
was shut down. On several occasions in 1982 (and maybe earlier?) BBN
arranged for NCP "brown-outs" to encourage speedy development.
